What Are the 5 Symptoms of Being Addicted to a Drug?

Question by kevin n: What are the 5 symptoms of being addicted to a drug?
[rewrite]I think my friend has a serious problem and I remember learning about like the five signs of someone being addicted, I’m pretty sure I know the first two, they go something like
1. “I just want to try it.” or “I want to fit in.”
2. “I can quit anytime I want, I just don’t want to.”

I’m not sure what three is but i know there is atleast five, can someone please help me?!
*edit*

I’m pretty sure its one of those Above the Influence things, but I know its real.
