My neighbour just told me of a boy who has been addicted to drugs. The mother is claiming that his addiction is caused by the father who she claimed is a cultist or spiritualist. Instead of taking her son to a psychiatrist to seek professional help, she believes the problem is spiritual. This might also be the same belief most people have about a gambling disorder.  I  agree with most contributors to this discussion that gambling has little or nothing to do with spirituality. People should seek help if they can't control their gambling activities.
