There is a lot to unpack from your message.. You bring up trust, getting hurt, and friendship.
Are people lying to you?
In our addictions, alot of us lied. It takes work and time to change our behaviors. For a lot of us , lying was something at least I did well when I was out there in my active addiction. That took time for me to change.

Friendship
I am still struggling with
friendship.Early on in my recovery I was told to stick with the winners. People working their program, doing the steps, going to meetings and had a sponsor. I created friendships with them.
Going to coffee and activities helped me create friendships, too.

Getting hurt
Im not sure how or who is hurting you but, that would upset me too.
The first year was getting settled into the meetings. Finding the meetings I I liked and felt like I fit.

We are a bunch of addicts and alcoholics. We are not the healthiest minded people when we get to the rooms. Sometimes Im surprised we function as well as we do! Thats whybthe steps and principals are such important part of the meetings.
I hope you find your place and trust within the rooms. I have been fortunate to have many multiple years free from active addiction. I don't think I would have been able to do it without the people and the meetings of AA and NA. You are worth it.
Sorry this was so long!
