Would it make sense to say that the pattern of behaviour (zoning out) is coping rather than addiction, and that addiction is what manifests when we lose control

Would it make sense to say that the pattern of behaviour (zoning out) is coping rather than addiction, and that addiction is what manifests when we lose control over coping strategies?
They seem like different things to me. Coping strategies are normal and can be healthy. Harmful strategies we depend on without much agency are more so what I’d classify as addiction within this lens.
