Sunnyside - Naltrexone & App to Drink Less or Quit Anmeldelser 

After drinking every night for the past 30 odd years, I broke that habit with the help of Sunnyside. My new habit is not drinking during the week and only imbibing in the weekends. I honestly didn’t think that would ever happen. Thank you Sunnyside!

My questions were always answered , and a counsellor was available when needed. The program was easy to follow
I was drinking 6 bottles of wine a week. I went down to one bottle a week , sometimes two. The advice I received was excellent on how to THINK about drinking before I drank and it worked for me. I am so grateful that I joined Sunnyside. I feel better , I’ve lost weight , and saved money. Thank you Sunnyside

I've been using Sunnyside for a couple years and have found it so helpful. You get out what you put in it, to some extent, but there are so many ways to use it. I started with just the tracking, but also added in the Naltrexone about a year ago and it has been a real help for me. I have always received quick responses to any questions or concerns, so not sure why others are having trouble, but that hasn't been my experience so far.

I'm currently using Sunnyside med with the Naltrexone option — it's not a magic solution, but it has worked really well for me and my goals. The daily pill makes the noise / cravings around drinking quieter and the tracking gives me a daily reminder to be aware of what I planned to drink and how much I'm drinking. Still, like any plan that involves changing habits you have to change your thinking/ actions. This gives me the space to do that. They have members discussions you can join with experts which I love as well as support, which makes it easier to change habits. Having this app/program and dealing with underlying reasons I was overdrinking in therapy has been a great solution. I've been drinking considerably less and I'm happy with the results so far!

Sunnyside completely transformed my relationship with alcohol. With the structure and support of the app, combined with Sunnyside Med (Naltrexone), I’ve been able to experience my first truly healthy, balanced relationship with alcohol in my adult life.

The team is incredibly supportive, responsive, and efficient, and the app itself is seamless and easy to use. On the rare occasion I experienced a small glitch, their team resolved it immediately. Beyond that, the community is welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely helpful.

I’ve tried nearly every method imaginable to cut back on drinking, and Sunnyside is the first approach that truly helped me turn my goals into reality. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, effective platform and medication-supported option to reduce or stop drinking, Sunnyside is absolutely worth it.

Ive had success using Naltrexone in the past, but I believe I fell short because I didn't have the tools to change the behaviors that led me to drink. Last year was rough for me and I found myself drinking upwards to 16 drinks a night. 6 months later I am down to 2 drinks a night. I felt so much shame around drinking and thought it had to be all or nothing. Now, I can put the bottle down, wheres in the past, I would always finish whatever I had. Also, having access to live coaches when I need a little extra support is game changing. Its definitely one of the best decisions I've made for my health

I started using Sunnyside 3 years ago. My husband and I are retired and live in a very social community in Florida. I live a healthy lifestyle - eat clean and exercise daily, but I was tending drink every night and often more than just 1 or 2 drinks. I just turned 70 and while I love a good cocktail party and all social events, I want to protect my health at the same time. Using Sunnyside to track my drinking has really helped me to be intentional with my drinking. I (honestly!!) track my drinking every single day (on the app on my phone) and now I plan my drinks and also dry days, aiming for 2-4 every week. When SS encouraged me to consider Naltrexone to help me with cravings, I discussed it with my Dr. and decided to give it a try. I've been on it for 6 months now and it has helped me cut my drinking by about 1/3rd! I know others in the program have even cut more as much as 50%!! Sunnyside offers coaching and it is honestly amazing. I don't know how they do it but you can literally reach out to a (live/real) coach on a Sat night as you are trying to curb your drinks and get real time support. They are fantastic people who just love helping others get healthier with their alcohol habits. They also organize communities of members that you can join and chat with daily if need be. I have been so appreciative for all that Sunnyside has done for me that I felt compelled to take the time to give a review.

It's now garbage.
I used this app for a few years and it was excellent at helping me track and moderate my consumption.
Then I tried the medication option. BIG mistake.
They seem to have bot virtual coaches - I gave up engaging. I received cut and paste messages from Ashleigh Cooley (a wellness coach).
They basically dispense medication with zero real support other than repeated "watch the video."
On top of that, I have to ask them to do something on the back end so I can track consumption. They destroyed what I found most useful about this program.
Companies sometimes get things wrong when they expand to provide a different approach. I would run a mile from this offering.
I plan on checking out OAR Health who seem to have a program that is run by actual medical professionals.
I tried to respond to you Ian via the link Trustpilot provided but it required a reference number. Here's what I can tell you:
- I was a customer who used the tracking app and watched its evolution over many years. It helped me stay honest with my alcohol consumption.
- I decided to try the medication and I received the Naltrexone capsules. However, the video is not sufficient support. You are basically on your own.
- I had to reach out to tech support to ask why texting my updates no longer worked. They reset it (I don't recall if I called or what I did). It worked for a short time. I reached out 5 times in October and November, no permanent fix.
- I had hoped the wellness coaching but kept getting automated messages from ash+help@sunnyside and hey@e.sunnyside
You should be explicit that coaching is email coaching and it is not really live person coaching.
If it helps you... below is what I signed up for, that said:
- I doubt you have a care team beyond doctors.
- The app that once worked well, stopped working.
- Human coaches. I emailed Ash and only ever got an automated email to sign up for email help.
Disappointing. Perhaps the program is no longer for me.

Honestly, had I read more I wouldn’t have tried this. I like the checking in and recording drinks But the medication was unnecessary for me(my bad). Fortunately I didn’t even have to open the package in the mail. I tried to see if I could return it(completely unopened, still in the bag it came) but could not. $300 is just too costly for me at this time. If you can afford it by all means give it a shot. Now I have a giant bottle to dispose of. Again…I liked the program itself, accountability, but the cost is high.

Sunnyside has been genuinely helpful for building more awareness around my habits. The approach feels supportive, non-judgmental and the daily check-ins are simple but effective. I still have a ways to go but I find it helpful and encouraging rather than overwhelming. I like that it focuses on small, realistic changes, and It’s made it much easier to be intentional and feel good about progress. I also embrace and very much appreciate the weekly podcasts!

I have logged my drinking frequency for over 20 months and it has benefited me greatly. My weekly frequency significantly decreased and my emotional well-being and self-efficacy has significantly increased in relation to my drinking. Now I practice "mindful moderation" and really ENJOY my drinks when I drink, and drinking is no longer a "mindless habit." Thank you Sunnyside!

I feel the tracking of drinks has been very helpful. The delayed responses of the coaches is both irritating and sometimes the responses feel they are from a preplanned script.

This app makes you be honest with yourself. It's easy to lie to others, that doesn't matter around the big picture. Being honest with yourself, that's what matters. Here at Sunnyside you can request coaching, share experiences without judgment; that is valuable.

The podcasts are EXCELLENT!! I listen to several at one time. I love them!! They are very inspiring and motivating!! Thank you!!!!

Sunnyside changed my life. I can't begin to explain how low I was feeling when I came across the app and decided to invest in myself. Since then it's been almost two years strong and going with changing not only my relationship to alcohol, but finally feeling like I always have a safe place to go that continuously and unconditionally provides me support. I listen to all of the podcasts and have raved about this app to all of my friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for literally creating a company that is positively impacting human life. I appreciate all of you and look forward to continuing being a member!

Your morning 10-minute talk was AWESOME!! 🤩 March 3, 2025

Sunnyside does not provide transparency into their auto renew policy nor does it provide a way to quit their platform. I unsubscribed from alerts months before I was auto renewed. This is against California state law and I believe it to be a sneaky business. Do not recommend.

I appreciate the support I receive from Sunnyside. The reminders, the option to be dry-ish, and the availability to reflect every day have been helpful.

The daily prompts are also thought provoking. They push me to look deeper into my reasons for drinking.

I am currently doing the Soberish Mom challenge, but as fully dry. I really like the simplicity of no alcohol, no questions. Starting in February I’m leaning toward a dry-ish plan. I think that is when I will really need more support.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to read others perspectives as well.

It was a good year! 12 months of tracking and logging drinks. My goal was to cut consumption by 50% by adding dry days. I also reduced number of drinks on drinking days by half. Total reduction of 70%.
Thank you Sunnyside!

Sucks! No real support. Nothing but canned responses.
Hate it.
