Well thats the disease isnt it, that ur will is directed in the direction of drugs. Making a "choice" is based on "will" and addiction physically changes your brain (prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and the pathways between). When addiction has fully developed there is no free will. That said, the brain will heal and rewire with time, but outside support is absolutely critical until it does.
Edit: if you care about the actual Science behind addiction I'd recommend you read the book below. I could also recommend some more literature if you're interested.
