Do you find it hard to manage your alcohol consumption when drinking alone? Perhaps, drinking alone has started to affect your mood, sleep, and health. If that's the case, the Sunnyside app can help you manage your solo drinking sessions, reassess your habits, and develop healthier ones.

No, drinking alone isn’t inherently bad. Enjoying a glass of wine alongside your favorite TV series makes for a really lovely evening—and there’s nothing wrong with that. Essentially, solo drinking in a moderate amount is not dangerous. But this practice can snowball into excessive drinking. If you find yourself regularly blacking out or dealing with nasty hangovers after a solo drinking episode, this could signify a cause for concern. Other signs of unhealthy drinking patterns include pushing aside your daily responsibilities and commitments due to alcohol, neglecting your health and hygiene, or lying about your drinking habits.
No, drinking alone doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an alcoholic or alcohol-dependent. If you’re concerned, you can monitor your alcohol consumption. Also, try to reassess your frame of mind during solitary drinking episodes. Do you always have one too many swigs whenever you’re trying to cope with stress, pain, anxiety, or boredom? Can you control how much you drink, or do you always spiral down the just-one-more-drink rabbit hole? Using alcohol to self-medicate or progressively requiring more and more alcohol to satisfy an urge could signify a drinking problem. On the flip side, having a moderate amount of alcohol every few days or so to relax is unlikely an issue.
Again, there’s nothing wrong with drinking alone. Maybe you can’t stand the noise at a bar, or you just want peace and solitude after a long day of dealing with pesky coworkers. Perhaps you like drinking without social pressure or deciding exactly what and where to drink without dealing with objections. That’s perfectly okay. However, some people drink to self-medicate from negative emotions or escape from reality. They may use alcohol to cope with depression, anxiety, or stress. And this can lead to alcohol dependence. Furthermore, without friends and family to comment or give feedback on their drinking, things can quickly slip out of control.
Understandably, life often comes wrapped in challenges and stress. But using alcohol to remedy pain, anxiety, or sadness isn’t a sustainable solution. Nonetheless, there’s always room to show yourself more grace and kindness by reaching out for help if you feel you’re spiraling down the wrong track. Finding a safe space to talk about your feelings, emotions, and concerns is one of the best ways to shed light on your situation and create actionable plans to manage it. To do so, you may wish to seek help from a coach, counselor, or healthcare professional. Tracking your drinking with the Sunnyside app also helps you evaluate your habits and measure your progress along the way.

You’re joining a community of members who have been through exactly what you’re going through and have achieved amazing results. Here’s what some of them have said about using Sunnyside to improve their drinking habits and keep their solo drinking sessions under control.
When I first started I was a bit leery about the whole thing. I am 70 years old and retired and didn’t think that I needed someone to tell me how much to drink. So I took the 15 day free trial and found out that it really helped me control my drinking. These guys are not trying to change you, just your drinking habits, which has help me a lot. Sometimes I would drink just to drink and that came to a stop. I still do what I want to do, I’m just doing it differently and it really working well for me. – Rene
Over the last two years I became a bit of a heavy drinker. After 84 days with Sunnyside, I’m now a moderate drinker, on my way to becoming a social drinking. The transition was easier than I thought. -Ted
I’ve been trying to cut back on my drinking for years and this is the only way I’ve actually done it. I’m so extremely happy with just the mindfulness that it has provided me. It’s not judgy. It doesn’t make you quit immediately. It is just a way to cut back and be mindful of your drinking and I really appreciate it. It’s honestly transformed my life. -Stefani
