The best cure is to buy another flashlight. That will always solve it for a few hours. :P
The Zebralight SC600w is pretty nice.
Welcome to BLF!
There is no cure to be found (in this place anyway).
Did he say something about AAs and $95? I suggest the TK41.
Welcome darklion99,there is no cure for this,I hear ya about the friends and family thinking you are wierd but soon enough,it doesn't bother you anymore.Flashlight geek or flashlight dork comments will not even matter after awhile.There are many enablers here so you will have no problem draining your paypal,most of all have fun!
you could always turn to alcohol, but you would just be substituting one addiction for another
Death usually stops the addiction. :bigsmile:
Other than that, it will last as long as your attantion span, then something else will consume you. Just tell your wife it’s a “guy thing” and changing/stopping it would turn you into a girl. 
OH, welcome to the hotel california.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
I never imagined someone could bring Don Henley into a flashlight discussion, thats a real accomplishment 
Maybe it has some relation to the stereotype that ‘women love shiny things’.
Do all men love luminous things?
No and welcome to BLF.
I would suggest that your wife and cat are pretty normal. There are one or two people here that can relate to everything you have said. If you find that cure please dont tell me as I would go looney without out my dailey dose of reality 
.
Walk to wife’s closet and take pictures of shoes, handbags, dresses, etc.
After that, what you do with the answer is up to you! 
i surmise he will wake up with a smashed camera, flashlight, tv or all three
Asking that question here is like asking the bartender if there is a cure for alcoholism
Whats this Kreisler gag that keeps coming up in various threads?
Last time i ‘liked’ something was years ago, but we have a winner (if this could be liked)
Wow, what wonderful responses, all of you! I am humbled and you have made me feel quite warm and welcome (maybe i need to beef up my heat sink?). So the real cure, I’m gathering, is to hang out with those who share the experience. That appeases the guilt and provides shelter from the unen-Light-ened ones (blind leading the blind?). And can 4,000 BLFers really be wrong?
Thanks for letting me in the door, everyone, and let there be light!
(Now I just have to take care of my computer, iPad-iPod-Android tablet, laptop, bicycle, telescope, musician, and audio-video addictions and I’l be in good shape!)
Kreisler constantly deletes his posts and denies doing so. Hence the fact that I call him a troll. :P
I have never heard of anything so strange (i’m sure i have, but can’t think of an example at the moment)
I’m so tired it took me this long to realize why the troll doll is in the pic
