Sunnyside - Naltrexone & App to Drink Less or QuitReviews of sunnyside.co

I had been following Canada’s low-risk drinking guidelines for a woman, which allowed a maximum of 2 drinks a day for 5 days in a week, and two dry days. After the COVID pandemic and a couple of personal depressing incidents, I found I was sometimes drinking 3 a day, or skipping dry days. Not a huge problem, but one I didn’t want to get worse. I had had luck improving an exercise program by tracking and sharing my activities, so I thought I would try it with drinking. In general, tracking and reporting on my drinking has worked quickly and well. I will continue with the programme for a month or two more until I am sure I have formed the habit of responsible, low-risk drinking again. I don’t know how well the programme would work for a person with a more serious alcohol problem, but if they are determined to cut back, becoming more aware of their patterns and having to report daily should help. Myself, the only problem I found at first has been that I already had a goal, and had to tweak the suggested goals each week. I didn’t particularly like planning ahead which days would be 0, 1 or 2-drink days. For example, Monday was a holiday in Canada and I had planned to have wine with dinner, but I was out, and the wine stores were closed, so it became a zero day. Tuesday was planned for a zero day, too. I changed the order.

I wanted to share my experience with Sunnyside I am in my third week of using the system and am very happy with the experience. I did not want to totally stop using adult beverages but wanted to slow down a bit. They are the angel on my shoulder keeping me focused. No judging just positive support To this point all is working well towards me reaching my goal. I suggest that people take advantage of their free trial period. It is enough time to see if it's for you

I signed up to get an understanding of what my alcohol intake was. This has given me a measure to use. The support is wonderful. The coaches seem to really care. Thank you!

Overall so far so good

As the pandemic continues I recognized that though I was a disciplined alcohol drinker it had become habitual and I wanted to change that Sunnyside, with the regular check-ins combined with planning your week in advance has helped me be more intentional in my consumption of alcohol rather than simply pouring a glass of wine because it is 5:00 p.m.

Mindfulness helps in all of life including when we seek to change - the change is slow, sometimes inconsistent, we are human, imperfect but over time the Sunnyside reminders and coaching is helping me manage and make healthier choices around drinking, I have cut my drinking back to 1/3 of what it was and feel in control ….thankyou 🙏

I don’t think I could have had the progress I’ve had with reducing alcohol without using Cutback Coach. It’s been working really well so far, I’m on my 3rd week of tracking and love the accountability!

I find this app helpful! It creates a daily habit to remind yourself to be mindful of your drinking. I absolutely do not think it solves all your problems, but I would recommend it to moderate drinkers who need a little encouragement to cut back.
