I have a friend whom I advise so many times to talk to a physician who is an expert in curing addiction, but he says that he can't because he doesn't trust doctors, because he feels that they are prolonging the session so they can extract money from their clients.
He ended up going to a priest to confess his addiction in a confession room and at the same time ask for advice, he reasons that he can easily trust the Priest because they don't charge a fee, you are anonymous to them because there is a curtain to both of you, and Priest are men of God and they study to give good advice.
How about you? Where are you comfortable telling your gambling addiction, and what are your reasons to trust them?
Please vote and explain.
You know, literally speaking about the doctor, he said that was really the doctor's purpose, and that was true, and I think he was just being practical: if there was another way, why not, right? That's why he preferred to confess to the priest, which is, for me, okay because at least he can boost himself in a positive response to what he's going through, whatever it is.
Then we're talking about addiction, there's no need for medication if you can still control yourself at least somehow. Unlike a doctor who has medication to do and will recommend
taking medicine or drugs that he needs, for me it's not okay.
