I think what NA means, and I am no way speaking for her, IMHO, is the addiction is there. Addiction to the alcohol, or it could be drugs or smoking, whatever the vice is. People are born with that somewhere in them, just like maybe being Gay or being attracted to redheads or hating Democrats or roadrage. It's part of personality that pops into us whenever one belives we become a "person."
IMHO. My .02.
