Can something count as an addiction even if not done in a long time?

yes... relapsing is a thing

same as depression, and other things...

I never say my depression is gone... just been dormant for a long long while, even if it was half of my life, that long ago, never let your guard down

take care of yourself

Yes. If you still have a dependence on it you're still addicted. That's why people count the days, weeks, years. Of sobriety or clean. Because it's probably a lifetime battle.

Yeah. You can be an addict even if you haven't abused in 20 years.
