How recovery support groups handle uneven progress

Four of us have been meeting monthly for two years to support each other's sobriety but lately the dynamic has gotten weird — two people seem to be doing really well and two of us are struggling more and there's this unspoken tension about whether we can still help each other or if we're at different places now.
