Personality is not inherited, although one can inherit things that influence the development of personality, such as chemical balances (and imbalances), the tendency toward addiction in terms of brain chemistry, and so forth. Personality is strongly influenced -- but not determined -- by those things, and also by environment, especially upbringing and things such as trauma, education and similar early life experiences.
None of those things preordains addiction, however. One may discover that one enjoys and craves certain things, such as alcohol, drugs, excitement, etc., but if one does not indulge in them the the necessary degree, an addiction is unlikely to develop regardless of predispositions.
