It's less of a genetics thing and more of a nurture thing.
If your mother was, let's say, a heroin addict, studies HAVE shown that this negatively affects the baby. I think they display withdrawal symptoms but I can't be 100% sure.
Most likely if you grow up in a bad neighborhood with an addict- filled environment, then the chances you may be an addict too.
But remember- at the end of the day it is still YOUR choice. Just because you are more predisposed to this stuff, doesn't mean it is inevitable. If you don't want to be an addict, do as much as you can to make sure you stay clean.
If your parents are both addicts, will you most likely be too?
