Hi Troy - glad things are going well for you.
I know few people who have found Buddhism and are also in the rooms of AA (we have a good Buddhist centre in Cambridge which is nearby) and they say that they've found that the steps and Buddhism works well for them.
I'm not one for being able to quote the big book (my memory was never great, even before 25 years of drinking), but I'm fairly sure it doesn't tell anyone to look at anyone with fear or resentment. More that that's how, as alcoholics, that's what we have been doing for too long, and that is part of our 'spiritual sickness'.
