WHAT IS MINDFUL DRINKING?


Put simply, it’s all about thinking while drinking. Mindful drinking is not about quitting alcohol but instead being aware of how much alcohol you’re drinking and its impact on you in the moment.



SCIENCE-BACKED FOR LASTING CHANGE


Reviewed and backed by an advisory board of medical and habit change experts, Sunnyside uses techniques such as pre-commitment and conscious interference to gradually help you reframe your relationship to alcohol without interrupting your day-to-day lifestyle.



NO GUILT OR PRESSURE TO QUIT


Our nonjudgmental approach will make you feel welcome and appreciated. Your goals around alcohol are personal–not all or nothing–and we tailor your experience appropriately. We never pressure you to be sober or quit drinking.



HOW IT WORKS


• Set your personal goals around alcohol

Your experience starts with a short, anonymous survey that only takes about 3 minutes. We gather some information about your drinking habits, your goals, and your intentions. This helps us personalize your experience to help you reframe your relationship to alcohol.


• Commit to a weekly alcohol plan

Every week we give you a recommended drink plan for the week ahead that will help you reach your personal goals. It’s always gradual and you can always adjust it.


• Track your drinks

Via a simple interface in-app (or via text message), we make alcohol tracking easy, and provide nudges to help you stay on target.


• Get daily motivation

We’ll deliver upbeat and positive education, motivation, tips, and tricks to keep you on track every day of the week. We focus on mindfulness and moderation, not going sober.


• Text real human coaches

Our team of real human coaches are available for you, no matter what you need. Text them anonymously to receive a helpful nudge at any time. Or don’t. We never force you to interact with our coaches.


• Interact with the community

Our new community feature lets you connect with others in the community around a shared daily prompt that helps you stay positive and mindful every day. It’s the perfect way to support those around you and get a bit of support and validation for yourself.


• Measure your progress

Watch and measure how your new habits add up to better sleep, money saved, and an improved diet in your personal dashboard.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using the Sunnyside app for more than a month, and I am surprised at the difference it had made in my efforts to change my drinking habits. While I am thinking more about when, why, and how much I drink, I am thinking about actually drinking MUCH LESS! This is the goal of mindfulness. I love the tracking tools. They allow me to make choices when the choices are easy, then remind me of my choices when I need the reminders to stay on track. Personal coaching is available if needed.

Since starting the Sunnyside app one month ago, I've cut back on my drinking by 75%. By planning my week in advance I can schedule dry days and drinking days. It is easy to use and keep track of my alcohol consumption. The daily check in keeps me on track. Better sleep, some weight loss, and improved health overall are my incentives. Sunnyside works! Whether you want to cut back or quit all together, I recommend giving Sunnyside a try.

I don't understand the cost. It's like $100 a year and other than daily tracking, and some quite frankly mediocre assistance at goal setting- the other app features are lackluster. The "community" feature is just everyone doing daily prompts and no actual community. The challenges don't make sense, they lack any interaction with other members of the challenege... I just don't get it. The "live assistance" is a joke. That is definitely a chat bot every single time I've reached out with a craving.
