At Hello Sunday Morning we are changing the world’s relationship with alcohol. One Sunday at a time.

It all began in 2009 when Founder, Chris Raine, documented his year long experiment to take a break from drinking by writing a blog. The organisation has since grown into the world’s largest alcohol-focused digital health service.

Our flagship technology platform, the Daybreak app, provides free, anonymous, 24/7 peer support for people who want to change their relationship with alcohol, whether that means taking a break, cutting back or quitting entirely. Daybreak has close to 150,000 members, making it nearly 10 times bigger than Alcoholics Anonymous. Through evidence based programs, services and tools we empower individuals to achieve self-directed, peer supported change.

Our vision

A world where every individual has the right support at the right time to change their relationship with alcohol.

Our mission

To harness technology to create effective, engaging and cutting edge programs that inspire and empower people to change their relationship with alcohol.

Our values

• Innovation - We innovate for impact
• Excellence - We always bring our best

• Caring - We foster connection and understanding through caring
• Evidence Based - We prioritise informed decision making
