I guess what it boils down to is whether you want to get sober or not. If you do, then you should try and find an AA meeting that works for you and not worry about comparing yourself to others. Or try a different recovery method that works better for you than AA. Just about everyone relapses, most do multiple times. What's important if you want to get sober is not to worry about how many times you've relapsed, but how you can avoid relapsing again.
