Not preachy. It is a "God as I understand Him" program. I may share some of how I have come to understand Him at a meeting, but only as in my own experience... I will not preach to you, ever. You are given the dignity to come to your own understanding of God, or higher power, just as you are given the dignity to find your own truth.
Try a few different meetings until you find one that fits... try to make sure, though, that you are hearing people share the solution, not wallowing in the problem...
Jerry Garcia, LOL, he is definitely a higher power alright, a true musical genius... I was getting in touch with his power last night, but damn, no matter how hard I try, I just can't play the same way he did
