Preachy people are preachy people, you get them in aa and you meet them in the street and at non religeous group therapy, just all preaching different messages.
Agreed! I work as a professor in a university--I'm around preachy people pretty much 24/7
Interestingly, preachy people don't bother me as much as I get further along in my sobriety. Indeed, now I even find myself sometimes listening to those preachy folks and realizing perhaps they weren't preaching before, but rather telling me something I didn't want to hear, especially when I was drinking. I find that there is value in a lot of what people have to say, even if the value is in helping me affirm my own beliefs.
