When a person is addicted, or dependent, on a substance, they cannot control their use of the drug. They will continue using despite adverse effects or negative consequences.
An addict will also experience cravings, or an intense desire/need to use the substance. Often they will find stopping for a period of time, or at all, impossible without help. There is a noticeable compulsion to use.
Withdrawal is another common sign of addiction. When a person abruptly stops using drugs or alcohol, their body will begin to withdraw; different substances will cause different withdrawal symptoms.
Taking risks, denial, obsession, secrecy/hiding, feeling as if one "needs" the substance in general or to deal with problems or every day life, excessive consumption, giving up responsibilities and/or hobbies, having stashes, financial, relationship, or law troubles are all signs of being addicted to a substance. These symptoms can vary greatly depending on the addict, the chemical they are addicted to, and the manner in which they consume a substance.
