jonesing
Desperately needing something
Jonesing is slang for craving intensely, originally referring to heroin withdrawal but now applied to any strong desire: I'm jonesing for coffee, She was jonesing to get back on stage.
The word comes from jones, slang for an addiction or fixation, possibly from the common surname used to represent an anonymous addict.
