"Well my family shoved God down my throat when I was a kid to try and keep me from doing what they didn't want me to do. So I'm not into this Higher Power thing. I don't share during meetings, and that's why. I don't have anything to add."
So I guess as long as he's waiting for God to prove Himself, then he can keep up the addiction/idol worship/rebellion rather than opening his heart to HP and recovering.
1 Corinthians 13:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
