Sunnyside is a service that helps you build healthier habits around your alcohol consumption so that you can get the most out of life and still enjoy alcohol on your terms.

When you sign up for our 15-day free trial, you'll get access to everything the service offers, including:

*   Personalized recommendations: When you create your Sunnyside account you'll provide a baseline of your current habits and goals. (Don’t worry, it’s a quick and painless process.) The information you provide will be used to personalize your recommendations going forward.
*   Weekly planning: Every Sunday we'll send you a personalized plan for the week, which you can adjust as necessary. This is more than just a planning tool; it's an opportunity to reflect on the previous week and consider your upcoming goals.
*   Daily tracking: Sunnyside makes it easy to log a drink in the moment or at any point in the day using a variety of commands, such as emojis, numbers, or drink type. Every morning we'll also check in with you to confirm the previous day's total.
*   Progress and analytics: On a daily basis, we'll remind you how you're tracking against your weekly goal and give you a chance to adjust if necessary. In addition, you'll receive a weekly email packed with insights about your historical progress as well as metrics about the positive impact your efforts are making on your overall health. 
*   Milestones and motivation: As you continue making progress each week, you'll start to hit milestones and key achievements. We’ll keep you apprised of these successes to keep you motivated and moving forward!
*   **Community**: Our app offers thoughtful daily reflections to support you in achieving your goals. You can post these in a public thread, or opt to keep them private in your journal. Publicly posting in the community is a great way to give and receive support from other mindful drinkers.
*   Human coaching: Remember: There's always an actual human [coach](https://help.sunnyside.co/coaching-101-Skl0mwBYO) on the other end of the text message who’s ready to provide support, advice, and motivation. This is available to all customers during coaching hours, but only if and when you need it.

Built and continually optimized using science-backed techniques, and reviewed by our team of advisors, Sunnyside is helping thousands upon thousands of people reduce their alcohol consumption by 29% in 30 days on average. This is leading to huge benefits, including 1,500 calories cut from their diet, and $50+ saved every month. In addition, cutting back on alcohol and/or becoming more mindful about your drinking can lead to big improvements in [your sleep](https://www.sunnyside.co/blog/alcohol-and-sleep) and energy levels, as well as a reduction in [anxiety](https://www.sunnyside.co/blog/alcohol-and-anxiety) and [hangovers](https://www.sunnyside.co/blog/how-to-avoid-a-hangover).

Our approach is modern and thoughtful, adapting to your personal goals. Many of our members join because they want to reduce their alcohol consumption, but others join simply to keep tabs and understand the impact that a couple of drinks can have on their health.

The service is delivered primarily through text message (SMS), which provides a highly effective – and private way – for members to log their drinks, track their progress, and get access to coaching. For our iOS and Android users, we also have an app available for you to try! 

More than just another app, Sunnyside is an engaging, personal experience that helps you build accountability to make real, meaningful positive changes in your life.
