What does it mean if an addiction is spiritual?

Question by Chris: What does it mean if an addiction is spiritual?
Someone was telling me how alcoholism is a spiritual disease and i didn’t get what they meant

Best answer:

Answer by LunaLT
It could mean that the person’s spirit is causing them to crave alcohol, or that their spirit is in such bad order that they have to turn to alcohol. However, I would rather call it an emotional disease because it makes more sense. I generally separate the spirit from emotion, but not everyone does.
