To me, suicide includes an intention and desire to be dead. All self deaths don't meet that definition of suicide - if you carelessly run into traffic most people would think of that as an accident, not a suicidal. That many people with addictions are unhappy and suffering doesn't have to imply that they also want to be dead.
