The Bible calls it bondage, which is pretty much the same thing as addiction.
I don't think anyone is saying that something besides the power of God is what is going to free them. They are just saying that sometimes, for whatever reason, people can find it very difficult to walk in that freedom, and still find themselves bound. It is STILL the power of God which is going to free them, but just lightly saying - 'oh, that's a sin, you need to stop that!' isn't going to help free them.
