Your problem is that you have actually bought into their "sober time" credentials, very possibly because you've been in and out of the rooms for years. This acts like a kneecap job to your self-confidence, and they know this. They also know that their "sober time" isn't worth anything at all, however, not even to them, because they still doubt themselves.

None of them will ever promise publicly to never drink again, because they know that they may drink tomorrow, and they have seen people drink again after years. If you really want to get under their skin, and expose their own self-doubt, ask them publicly if they will ever drink again in this lifetime, or if they will not.

But first, ask yourself.
