Abusers can stop using with relatively little discomfort. Addicts find quitting extremely difficult for both physical and psychological reasons.
Abusing a drug means you are not taking the way it was prescribed and/or not for the reasons it was prescribed. Most abusers abuse for fun or to experiment. Addicts NEED the drug physically and psychologically. They are dependent on the drug in every aspect of their lives.
