Jealousy vs. Envy: Navigating Sobriety with Dillan and Aubrey

I was just thinking about like I I could, like I could get away with it, I could go drink, I could get away with it, I could do it, I could do it. That's where I feel like that jealousy like comes in cause. I feel like, when you think about it, a person who can drink normally wouldn't say I could get away with it.
What’s the difference between jealousy and envy, and how do they play out in the journey of sobriety? In this episode of 'The Sober Gay', hosts Dillan and Aubrey tackle these tricky emotions head-on. Ever wondered why envy sometimes feels easier to handle than jealousy? They’ve got you covered. Drawing inspiration from a Contrapoints video, Dillan and Aubrey break down these feelings and share how they've personally wrestled with them during their sober lives.
Aubrey opens up about her days as a professional drink counter and the jealousy that fueled her addiction, while Dillan recounts moments when he envied those who seemed to drink without consequence. They also touch on how envy can sneak into everyday aspects like food and self-esteem. With a sprinkle of humor and a lot of honesty, the duo emphasizes the importance of self-care, especially during those seasonal energy dips.
Wrapping up with a teaser for an upcoming promo in Santa Fe and a chat about their subscription tiers, this episode offers a heartfelt, relatable look at managing jealousy and envy in sobriety. Tune in for a conversation that feels like catching up with friends who truly get it.
