Have you ever been able to change your own behavior? That's nurture. Have you ever had a hard time changing your behavior? That's nurture.
It's like asking is the air carbon dioxide or oxygen? It's both and they do different things.

You could be a hardcore $political party member, but nothing about that is nature. That’s entirely a result of your environment.
As far as I understand, nature vs nurture is more designed to explain/blame academic performance, ability to manage money, pressure, etc. I remember hearing an old friend explaining it as “a way for the rich to justify why poor people shouldn’t be making financial decisions“.
> “a way for the rich to justify why poor people shouldn’t be making financial decisions“.
And yes, I believe your friend is right.
