Jealousy?
Is it possible to have ex-friends jealous of your sobriety? I just reached 9 years on the 2nd. I had this one friend that when we became friends she was also sober. She went back to drinking when she met her now-husband. I tried remaining friends and even had given her 50$ for her wedding. I just graduated with my BS in Nutrition and talk a lot about health-relate things on social media. I had mentioned something about a condition she had in a thread, she wanted me to delete (I did, thought nothing of it). She unfriended me and I tried reaching out nothing. So I blocked her moved on. Now she's telling mutual friends I'm on drugs (complete rumors). Could she be jealous of my continued sobriety and she went back? Thanks.

It could be she is jealous. It could be one of a hundred other possible things. If she doesn't come right out and tell you, you'll never know. If you still want to be friends, you could send her a quick note and say you don't know what you did to upset her, but you'd still like to be friends if she wants to talk. That's about all you can do. And congrats on you sobriety!

Maybe she saw it as unwanted advice? Maybe she is jealous not of your sobriety only but what you have accomplished overall. It sounds like you did what you could and you should move on. Sounds like drama. I had a bit of friend drama at one point and about 5 years later we reconciled.
