No Idéa, Where do you live?
Here in Sweden it's only our family called Jonsing
(Sorry for my bad English)
It derives from The Grateful Dead song - Casey Jones
"Riding that train high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed"
"Jonsing" means to need that next fix. Originally for the drug of one's addiction, it has come to generally mean any strong craving - chocolate, coffee, exercise, travel, etc.
At least, that's my understanding of it's derivation and meaning.
This answer is from "Urban Dictionary", I am an American of that time frame and can attest to the accuracy.
