Envious of others

Today I am struggling with envy of friends and colleagues who seem to be doing better than me. Emphasis on "seems." I know everyone struggles with thinking "the grass is greener" etc. But I feel like staying sober is magnifying my envy lately. Or maybe it's that I'm jealous of people who don't have this problem to deal with...I dunno. Not sure what I am saying, really. Just venting a bit. I wish I could just stop thinking about what other people have. I try to be grateful about all the things I do have, etc. And I know everyone is different, fighting their own fight, etc. Are there any more specific meditation techniques or similar tools that can help stop or redirect this kind of negative thinking? Thank you in advance.
