Sober Women, Jealous and Petty Thoughts

About this episode

The episode discusses the experience of jealousy among sober women and introduces a new segment on petty resentments.

Despite being so grateful for our sober lives, we still experience jealousy over big things (friends with great adult kids) and little ones (another author going viral). The difference is that we now have the tools to handle it gracefully…most of the time. Also, welcome to our new segment, Petty Resentments! First up: Why are we pressured to tip on what are essentially medical procedures?
