This is NOT good news. (Hi, my name is Bahbah and I am a chocoholic.)

This is my pet peeve. You say you're a chocoholic. Apparently, this word, like similar made-up words indicating addiction to something, is derived from 'alcoholic'.

The alcoholic is a person who is physically addicted to alcohol. Alcohol-ic. The -ic is tacked onto the end of trhe name of the substance the person is addcted to.

Therefore, a person who is addicted to chololate should be called a chocolatic, not a chocoholic.

There, I feel better now.
