It may or may not be the case that some people have a genetic predisposition to engage in addictive behaviours.
Frankly, I don't see that this matters a great deal.
Whether or not someone becomes an addict is the result of their own choices. Whether or not an addict ceases to be an addict is also the result of their choices.
This is true regardless of whether or not they had a genetic predisposition to addiction. If they have such a predisposition, then their substance use might get them addicted quicker. They might also find it more difficult to withdraw, and more easily slip into relapse. But none of this changes the fact that at every point they are making decisions, for which they alone are responsible.

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
