Journey to the Sunnyside | Mindful Drinking & Alcohol Health

Today we have a special guest host, Sunnyside cofounder Ian Andersen. Ian is someone I work with every day, and over the years he’s become a good friend. He cares deeply about the people we help here, and he’s also thought a lot about alcohol and mindful drinking in his own life. Ian recently sat down live in New York with Sunnyside member Erica Campbell. Within a few weeks of starting naltrexone through Sunnyside Med, Erica had cut her drinking in half. The change happened so quickly that she had to start figuring out everything underneath her drinking on the fly. Now, more than six months in, she talks honestly about what changed, what she’s still working through, and what drinking less has made possible in her life. Here’s Ian and Erica.

As a result, 96.7% of our members see a big drop in their drinking after 90 days.

We now offer Sunnyside Med, a new program that provides access to compounded naltrexone, a medication that can reduce alcohol cravings at the brain level, offering a more clinical pathway for people who need it. Sunnyside Med is a complete, holistic approach to help you drink less or quit, including coaching, community, habit change, education, and more to help you create longterm change while the medication does its work.
