tions, other than addiction to  alcohol,  gambling,  or  any  controlled
substance,  which  are demonstrable by medically acceptable clinical and
laboratory diagnostic techniques, and which are expected to be permanent
and which prevent the tenant from engaging in  any  substantial  gainful
employment; or
