Sunnyside - Naltrexone & App to Drink Less or Quit Anmeldelser 

I like the daily tracking & accountability for totals for day & week vs targets. I like the positive reinforcement that I am working on a goal & doing well even if I mess up. Having the number of drinks tallied per week is an eye opener & I can no longer rationalize that it is OK.

Gave them my credit card number 3 days ago and have yet to receive the text that "I will receive right away" to get me started. Emailed customer service for help....no response. Don't waste your time on this company! The only saving grace is there is a 14 day free trial so I will cancel before I get charged. Still very disappointing.

I saw the Sunnyside app through a Facebook ad and I was immediately interested so signed up for the free trial. I had fallen into the habit of a few drinks every day just to unwind, which adds up. I was sleeping okay but not restfully and occasionally going to work hungover or at least not in my best frame of mind. Alcohol is very present in my family and seen as a connection tool so I never expected or wanted full sobriety.
This program was exactly what I needed. It helped me to see how I was drinking without any thought or plan, the accountability piece really helped me with lower my total number of drinks and increasing my dry days. In the beginning I used the text a coach option regularly to help when I was trying to work past a craving. It was so helpful! I have successfully lowered my total drinks from approximately 25 to 5. I am so much happier without the side effects of alcohol every day and notice better sleep and less crankiness! With the help of this app (which I signed up for the 3 month option following the trial) I am now comfortable with not drinking in the evenings to relax and feel so much better about myself for that. Thank you Sunnyside!

Sunnyside is a good partner, helping me navigate my drinking habits with no judgement, but encouragement!

I would LOVE a place to leave notes for each day or week. For example: I was doing great, then my granddaughter was stillborn and I got way off track. A way to notate what happened would be really helpful to reflect on triggers and how to address those.

Way too pushy. To be fair, I never signed up. I just did the survey through fb. They offer you an opportunity to opt out by texting CLOSE and then they don't respect it. They text bomb you, I had to block them. My skins actually crawling when I think about being a part of this community. Shouldn't integrity be the backbone of a program like this?

I am the owner/operator of a small commercial transportation service that transports people from my hometown to the airports in my state. I find myself when not working, drinking more than a glass or two alone at home. I rarely drank at all in my 30 years as an adult but found myself drinking a few glasses of 3 fingers full Nighty of bourbon min or a bottle of Prosecco in apperol when at home for the night alone without a night off “of the booze”. I just wanted to loose weight and be content again with the norm being one or two max drinks a few nights a week, Not every single day.This app reminds me and helps me remember, I feel great after 2 drinks so why add the extra calories and loose the two drink feel that does the trick to wean off the days stresses. Just trying to get to a dry day here and there, that’s my main challenge at 50! This app helps and will get me there.

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!

Sunnyside is helping me stay accountable. I find it helpful to have reminders each day and texting me works best for me, I don't have to log into their app and I think the ease or the reminders and checking in really makes it do-able for me. It's working!

Definitely worth the price. It will save you AT LEAST as much as it costs. Very encouraging, never makes you feel guilty. I have cut back at least 50%. And I am definitely much more mindful of my drinking.

Any questions or concerns I have had, Sunnyside has promptly responded.

Im a new user and saw a reference to Trust Pilot. I noticed all the great reviews came from invited people to review, lol! Very biased, and was hoping for reality.

I used this app and I will admit I was shocked to realize just how much I was drinking each day. This was a great tool to use to cutback my daily intake of alcohol. It did take me a bit to get there. Just know your coach is very understanding and great to talk to. I m proud to say I’m 58 days without a drop. This app is where it all started for me. I could not think Sunnyside enough for there support.

I asked for info and then texted STOP numerous times, despite this (and not subscribing to the service free trial) I keep on getting annoying texts(even when I block the number). It is very frustrating and intellectually dishonest given the serious topic that is supposed to be treated by this app(substance use disorder). I am extremely disappointed.

I have just started this tracking program! It has been extremely helpful kn reducinh my alcohol consumption. The first 2 weeks have been quite difficult, however this tracking reminder is a great aid in my quest.

Sunny side has been a welcome support in helping me cut back on the amount of alcohol I’ve been consuming. Their staff are real people, attentive, available and super supportive. It is very helpful that they are not judgmental when I don’t reach my goals, but help me to not throw all my efforts out the window. Tomorrow is always a new day!

This program is just what I need at the moment. It's easy to use and supportive of my goals. I have actually done the daily tracking for about a year on my and have had some success but not as much as I hoped for. Counting and reporting to someone daily provides me with the accountability I needed and was missing on my own.
