How to handle uneven progress with recovery accountability partners

My accountability partner and I started our recovery journeys together but I'm progressing faster and it's creating weird dynamics where they seem resentful and I feel guilty about doing well. We both want to maintain the relationship but don't know how to handle the imbalance.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
