Does this sound familiar?
You don't need a diagnosis. You don't need to hit 'rock bottom'. If any of these resonate, Sunnyside was built for you.
You're not sure if your drinking is "bad enough"
The gray area between "I'm fine" and "I have a problem" is where most people live. We built Sunnyside for exactly this space.
You tried cutting back but it never sticks
Dry January, rules, willpower — they work until they don't. Sunnyside adds the science and support that willpower can't provide alone.
You want options beyond AA, rehab, or cold turkey
Moderation is a valid goal. Quitting gradually is a valid path. We meet you where you are — not where other programs think you should be.
There’s a 10-year gap between when someone first thinks “I’m drinking too much” and when they get help. We’re closing that gap.
The Sunnyside Method
Changing your relationship with alcohol doesn’t happen overnight. It happens through small actions repeated over time. Sunnyside combines daily behavioral protocols, clinical support, and human coaching to help you make meaningful progress — one day at a time.
3 proven pillars that work together to help you reach your goals
Psychology & Neuroscience
A structured approach to breaking old habits and building new ones in their place.
Modern Preventive Medicine
Doctor-prescribed medication that targets alcohol cravings at the brain level.
Connection & Belonging
Community and human coaching to build resilience through any ups and downs along the way.
Sunnyside targets the full habit loop
Most programs help you address one area of the habit loop. Sunnyside takes a systematic approach to address every step. It’s a modern, complete approach to habit change.
Without Sunnyside
The habit loop runs unbroken. Each drink reinforces the next. Willpower alone isn't enough to break it.
With Sunnyside
Every part of the habit loop is proactively addressed, helping you completely change your relationship to alcohol over time.
Medication adherence is a challenge, but Sunnyside Med members are 3x more likely to stay on their medication when they participate with the full program.
