What does sobriety mean?

The textbook meaning of sobriety is “not being under the influence of alcohol.” However, sobriety can take on different meanings for different people. For those on the journey of recovery, sobriety could mean total abstinence from alcohol—or never using alcohol again. Meanwhile, other definitions of sobriety focus on nurturing healthy coping mechanisms and habits that help you achieve your wellness goals in the long run. It involves identifying the factors that urge you to drink so you can effectively tackle the root causes of poor drinking decisions.

What are the benefits of staying sober?

The impact of staying sober not only involves your physical health—but also trickles into your emotions, mental wellness, social interactions, relationships, and work. You’ll catch more restful ZZZs at night, feel more energetic during the day, and have more focus while performing tasks. Without nasty hangovers and feeling irritable throughout the day, you can concentrate well on meeting all your personal and work commitments and taking better care of yourself. This adds up to more fulfilling relationships built on meaningful communication and deeper conversations.

What happens to your body when you stop drinking?

Some health benefits of quitting alcohol involve better sleep at night and improved mood and energy throughout the day. You’ll also notice better focus, attention, and memory, which can help enhance your work performance and productivity. Quitting alcohol can also lead to better skin complexion, enhancing the color around your eyes and improving your skin’s hydration. Additionally, you may shed a few extra pounds. In the long run, giving up alcohol could reduce your risk of certain cancers and heart diseases.

How can I stay sober?

Because everyone’s journey takes different turns, the solution to your situation may look unique. It could take some experimenting to find what helps you avoid drinking. But identifying your personal triggers is an excellent first step in the right direction. This may be stress, peer pressure, a particular scent, or being in a pub or bar. Once you’ve identified these triggers, you can avoid old routines and habits that lead you down the path of drinking. A sobriety app like Sunnyside helps you monitor your drinking habits and keeps you accountable based on your tailored action plans and wellness goals.

Why People Are Saying Sunnyside is the Best Sobriety App

You’re joining a community of members who have been through exactly what you’re going through and have achieved amazing results. Here’s what some of them have said about using Sunnyside to improve their drinking habits.

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
