Sober Curious Drink Tracking App

Have you ever wondered how different life would be without alcohol? What would a night out with friends look like without the mindless swigging? Maybe you're curious if there are other ways for you to cope with stress. The Sunnyside sober curious app helps you jumpstart your sober curious journey, where you'll learn to better evaluate each drinking decision, impulse, and invitation.

What does being sober curious mean?

Sober curiosity may mean different things to different individuals. But in essence, being sober curious typically involves questioning how alcohol impacts different areas of your life. A sober curious individual may have chosen to change their drinking habits for physical and mental wellness reasons. By being sober curious, you’re figuring out if a sober lifestyle is suitable for you and learning how to recognize the often-negative impacts of alcohol on your life.

What is the sober curious movement?

The sober curious movement empowers people to experiment with sobriety and explore how alcohol impacts their mental and physical wellbeing. You don’t have to struggle with alcohol to be curious about sobriety—a stigma that the sober curious movement aims to break. Essentially, the movement encourages a sober lifestyle, but embraces and welcomes individuals who are not ready to quit alcohol entirely. It’s a highly inclusive movement that encourages people to make conscious decisions when drinking.

Who can benefit from being sober curious?

Do you want to drink less than you normally would? Do you dislike the all-or-nothing mindset usually attached to sobriety? If so, you may benefit from being sober curious. Sober curious individuals want to be sober for physical and mental health reasons and not because they consider themselves alcoholics. Best of all, reducing your alcohol intake may come with certain benefits, such as improved sleep, better focus, a smaller waistline, and a happier wallet.

How can I try out the sober curious lifestyle?

The best way to approach a sober curious lifestyle is to focus on what you stand to gain, rather than what you may lose. Find some alcohol-free social activities and integrate yourself into a community with similar goals. If you’re not ready to give up drinking, perhaps enjoy one swig instead of your usual three. Making weekly action plans and tracking your progress can be extremely useful, all of which you can do using the Sunnyside sober curious app.

Why Sunnyside is The Best App to Explore Sober Curiosity

You’re joining a community of members who have been through exactly what you’re going through and have achieved amazing results.

These guys are not trying to change you, just your drinking habits.

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 helped 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

The transition was easy

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 cannot believe it actually worked.

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

Simple & sustainable

I love this program – it’s simple and supportive. I feel like I’m on my way to making some lasting changes without ever feeling shamed. Also the coaches are real & respond personally (not just bots). -Lucy
