I think part of the definition of an addiction is physical and/or mental suffering when the addictive thing/activity is not available to you.
Almost everybody these days is on the Internet every day, it's a habit - then you're invited to go camping somewhere remote with no Internet, some people would be fine or even happy that first day without the Internet, other people who are addicted would feel stressed out. A habit that you become physically/emotionally dependent on is more than a habit.
