Is it possible to have self-control while under the influence of drugs? Don't they by definition shift the brain's priorities and the ability to control one's desires? I guess I just don't think of addiction as being due to a problem of self-control; lack of self-control results from addiction. The question I have is what factors influenced Amy's decision to start?

From personal experience, I'd say yes. I think there is an element of self control.
I have an elder sister who has, what you might call, an addictive personality.
A recovering alcoholic and an addiction to drugs has seen her hit rock bottom on several occasions. Only last year she was given a 5 to 1 against chance of survival following her latest
episode.
How is she now?
She's doing very well. For now.
If Winehouse was anything like my sister, then the influencing factors as to why they start in the first place could be down to depression.
It's no coincidence that my sisters state of mind governed how well she coped with her addictions at any given time.
Without some self control, both of them would have been dead years ago.
