Is this a valid definition of addiction?

I'm not an expert but I would add: they continue doing so at the detriment of their personal and professional lives.

Isn't that covered in "sincerely wish to stop doing" or is there a difference?

i.e. your work suffers (coming in late, unproductive) because of the addiction.

I don't think "sincerely wishes to stop" adequately covers it.

There does not need to be a desire to stop to make it an addiction

Do they know the activity is detrimental to them?

No. But it helps as an example of how something you can’t stop even if you want

I think it's pretty good. Addiction isn't really about the frequency of doing

Complex imo. All these “urges” are at times natural or just reality so often

A drug or gambling addict may not be able to abstain

"Wishing to stop" probably is not a requirement. Some addicts/alcoholics don't

You can have surrendered your ability to choose without knowing it
