You can't stop thinking about the thing your addicted to. It's in your head when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night. You can't stop doing it and it consumes you.
However the classic sign is when you begin to make your addiction your secret and start to lie about it to yourself and to others. It's a bad place to be.
Best way not to get addicted to anything? Listen to your instincts and let your conscience be your guide. Typically, you know when you're going down the wrong path. Put the brakes on early before it's too late!

OH Believe me, YOU'LL KNOW.
When it is all you can think about, you spend all your time, money and energy trying to get more, when you don't like spending time with your family and any friends who try to keep you from your addiction, when you are willing to give up everything in your life for it, and when you don't care if it kills you. Then, once you go through ALL that for your addiction, you hate every minute you spend doing it, and you would rather be dead than live on more day as an addict.

I would say that to be addicted to something is to say that you can not function Normally without it. ie your mind is totally on the addiction or your body is. People can abstain from alcohol for weeks but then they go on a "bender" they are still addicts though.

when you wake up at like 3 in the morning and you find yourself frusturated when you can't find a lighter so you end up using the stove...and then only 4 hours later you're in the same rut. ADDICTION SUX!

Try and give it up for a couple of weeks. If you cannot you are addicted.
