Addictions.

Gerard had an addiction. Gerard had had a few addictions over the years, drugs and alcohol being the worst, and he had managed to kick all of them to the curb when he decided to become a better person, but he just couldn’t seem to get over this one. Not that it was particularly horrible or that he’d even really want to stop, but it can’t possibly be healthy at this point.

Or the one where it's undecided whether Gerard is more addicted to his coffee or the barista who makes it.
