It sounds like what they did was inappropriate at best, but just remember that everyone makes mistakes and they are all in recovery just like you. Don't take it personally and definitely don't let it stop you from going to meetings!

It is awesome that you resisted the urge to pick up. Congratulations!

Sharing a meetings can make you feel very vulnerable, but in that vulnerability, there is beauty and wisdom and cleansing.

I think romanticizing your experiences is normal, but beware that it can be the AV trying to creep in and convince you to drink again. Just remind yourself how things really turned out after that lovely buzz turned into a blackout, throwing up, embarrassing yourself, or whatever your personal experiences were.

Stay strong. Your not alone!
