No. Addiction is the inability to stop when you want to. Lack of self-control is generally a willpower / just not wanting to stop thing. But there are two kinds of addiction: physical and psychological. Physical addiction can occur with things like heroin, alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine (the more and longer you use them the more likely you are to get addicted... generally speaking.) Your body literally craves/needs more and you can get sick or possibly even die if you stop too abruptly depending on the substance. Then there's psychological addiction which most of the physically addictive drugs can be as well as things like pot (at least I don't recall hearing any scientific studies indicating it's physically addictive.) While your body isn't dependent on it, whatever it is, your brain effectively gets stuck in a feedback loop telling you that you need that other thing just like you need food or water.
