I love chocolate. I usually eat some chocolate everyday. Sometimes, I call myself a chocoholic.
The suffix -holic can be applied to words to describe a person who enjoys something excessively. Here are some common examples which you can hear in everyday conversation.
Workaholic: "Mr Sato is such a workaholic; he spends 80 hours a week at the office."
Shopaholic: "Haruna goes shopping in Shibuya every weekend; she is a real shopaholic."
Alcoholic: "Mr Kimura is suffering from gout. It's not surprising because he's an alcoholic."
Chocoholic: "My teacher eats a bar of chocolate every day; he's a chocoholic!"
