Changed my life almost immediately

Excellent program, especially in conjunction with Naltrexone. Changed my life almost immediately while seemingly effortless, and helped maintain the change throughout the following year. I highly recommend it.

Sep 3, 2026

I found anonymity and support

What made my experience great is that I found the anonymity and support that I needed to recognize and deal with my drinking problem. I used it for two years, and quit drinking at the end of my second week using the application. I've not had alcohol since June 16th, 2024. It changed my life, or, I changed my life with this apps' help.

Sunnyside helped me cut back 90%

I still occasionally drink and get cravings, so when I saw they were offering Naltrexone I gave it a shot, even though it was sort of outside my budget. Wow, where was this pill when I first started cutting back?! I can't believe how effective it is – after a week I just completely lost the urge to drink at all. I haven't noticed any side effects since I started taking it in January. Highly recommend Sunnyside for anyone who wants to drink less for good!!

It has worked really well for my goals

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.

What we know and where it comes from
