You'd need to find the right group and sponsor. As someone who has tried without a major outside support mechanism like AA many times and keeps failing. I'd say you might try to ignore those things you don't agree with and keep at AA. Like anywhere else you are going to encounter all kinds, even some really stupid people with real time under their belt. But you can ignore them.

My psychiatrist said to me, in his sarcastic Brit accent, in April 2013, "So do you think you'll be one of the magic people who does this without AA??" And I said, "Yes, Do you see people have much success without it?" Answer, "Not really." He was right. At this point the heavy lifting would be over and I would have to maintain sobriety and vigilance, but I'd be in a waaaay better spot.
