Not all AA groups are created equal. Say a prayer and find another. Keep your head up brother. We are not alone.

Not all groups are the same, thats why they say attend 90 in 90 that way you can find a group conscience that lines up with your goals in sobriety. If you can't there are other types of recovery options SMART Recovery or if you like the 12 steps you have Celebrate Recovery. There are so many options at our disposal find a meeting or recovery option that works for you. Don't forget to be open minded.
I trusted anyone who would get me drunk or high when I was out runnin' the streets. Then when I would try to get sober, I expected people to be perfect. This attitude kept me drunk for decades. I had to learn to give people the benefit of doubt and I had to learn to forgive

I have given the benefit of doubts to many that have called me friend at the place I stay. And to no end it’s all comes to a person being fake. It sucks but true. I will recover and always will be sober. That’s just how I feel for days and maybe months. So to find trust hard for me. When those things are done to me on a daily basis.
What do you mean the place you stay? Are you in sober living transitional housing or something like that?
Yes.. for now I need to be in a place like that. Because I need to live with sober people.
Ok. Well it makes sense then. You can expect chaos and confusion in that environment. Don't give up on your recovery though based on your experience there. You're dealing with a lot of newcomers. Recovery does get better but you've got to stay sober long enough to transition. Out of their. Sorry for your struggles
