You have to be careful that it is not your addiction telling you those people are critical members of AA. Your addiction could be trying to set you up for a relapse by getting you out of those meetings. DON'T STOP GOING TO MEETINGS. Talk to your therapist and practice what he or she suggests.

I used to be really hard on myself and my therapist suggested that I pat myself on the back for something that went well, or something important that I accomplished like going to an appointment at the Social Security office. I started doing what she suggested and it changed the way I talk to myself. I also read a lot of self-help stuff online.

Read this article which talks about the lies we tell ourselves: The Lies Your Mind Tells You to Prevent Life Changes : zenhabits

I was sober once and I started a business, and I was doing really well, but as soon as I stopped going to AA meetings I relapsed. You have to be really careful about what you are noticing at these meetings. Maybe you can change your focus and look for the good in people.
