Ever felt confident about cutting back on drinking but stumbled as soon as friends and social events came into the picture? it can be hard to drink less around friends
Do you ever think about how your drinking might impact your children? As parents, of course we think about the values and characteristics we want to pass on to our children, but how often do we really stop to consider what they’re learning from watching and experiencing us drinking?
New Year’s is coming, and we all know what that brings: resolutions. On top of focusing on a Dry(ish) January, many of you might be looking to add on other healthy habits. That’s where this article comes in handy — 18 useful tools, apps and tips that will make the month as easy as possible.
More than 25,000 individuals participated in Sunnyside’s Dry(ish) January Challenge, a challenge to reset alcohol consumption in January with no pressure to quit, and the majority intend to continue drinking less in the following months.
Drinking less alcohol doesn’t have to be restrictive or stressful. Moderating your drinking at your own pace might help take away the pressure that often comes with strict abstinence-only goals. While it’s not necessarily for everyone, finding a balance that works for you can make cutting back feel a lot more manageable and enjoyable.

About Sunnyside
Sunnyside is a comprehensive platform for building a healthier relationship with alcohol. We combine a behavior-change app, real human coaching, and Sunnyside Med — our Telehealth service where licensed providers can prescribe medication to help reduce alcohol cravings. Members using the Sunnyside app report an average 33% reduction in weekly alcohol consumption, and Sunnyside Med customers are reducing their drinking by nearly 50% on average — along with improved sleep, better mental clarity, and an overall improved sense of well-being.
What is Naltrexone? Naltrexone is a medication that works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain, which reduces the pleasurable effects of alcohol and helps decrease cravings. Originally approved by the FDA in 1994 for the treatment of alcohol dependence, Naltrexone has been shown in clinical studies to significantly reduce heavy drinking days and support long-term moderation. Sunnyside Med prescribes a compounded oral formulation containing Naltrexone as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes coaching, tracking, and ongoing medical support.
Sunnyside Med connects you with licensed medical providers who can prescribe compounded medication containing Naltrexone, an active ingredient that is FDA-approved to support alcohol moderation, through a private Telehealth process. Sunnyside Med is not a substitute for emergency services or inpatient treatment. If you are in crisis or experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, please contact SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or call 911. We are proud partners of Moderation Management, a non-profit dedicated to reducing the harm caused by the misuse of alcohol.
