The power I have *over me* is greater than the power "Mother Nature" has *over me*. I *chose* to do the thing I am addicted to. Nature doesn't make me. And I cannot see how Nature would make me not do the thing I am addicted to.
I can see how, if you are religious, it is easy to put this burden on a mythical fairytale creature. But if you are an atheist, I still can't see how it works.
