I don't know that it's accurate to refer to AA members as "POD people".
They do have a lingo and a way of looking at things--and you are allowed not to care for either aspect of it, although it's best not to decide until you've had some exposure.
You also might want to check out other recovery approaches, like SMART Recovery or AVRT. They have their own lingo and philosophy, too. SMART is full of acronyms (CBT, REBT, HOV, ABC...seriously!) and AVRT talks about the "Big Plan" and "the Beast").
