"Any Self-Righteous Anonymous groups out there?" - Yes, a close reading of the christian bible will tell you that's the indented function of the church. Unfortunately there's a propensity for the opposite.
In early church history, there's an interesting period of basically pious showboating.
> Well, I used limit myself to living in the desert and taking a vow of silence back when I first got into Christianity and still was attached to the flesh, but now I abstain from sex, sleep on gravel and wear a shirt made of hedgehog bristles too.
Eventually it become obvious this wasn't piety at all, but pride. The first Nicene council even bans men who have performed self-castration from entering the clergy.
Right on, but as the OP suggests it's easy to be self-righteous against 2nd century pious showboating as well!
The only solution (again see the article) is humility. The old saying 'There but for the grace of God go I' is apt in this case. Seeing ourselves in every 'bad actor' of any kind from the dude who cuts us off at the lights to genocidal dictators is the only way to avoid it.
