The key here is "resentment"
This can be an early sign of relapse. Look at your personal relapse prevention guide - for triggers. Look around at your life for other triggers displaced onto meetings,

The meetings are supposed to be enjoyed - not resented.
You make friends with other recovering people , working the steps
Have a sponsor whom you like and admire.

if this is not working out otherwise:
change aa groups
get a new sponsor
try a different type of 12 step program - some were mentioned already

BUT - its the resentment that needs a careful close look at FIRST
discuss with sponsor
and the group. VENTILATE this out loud. DO NOT keep the feelings inside.
