Flashaholics Anonymous: The Flashlight Purchase Refusal Kudos Thread

I guess we are cured. There haven’t been any posts in a while about members buying flashlights, so I guess we are all being good and resisting the urge……just barely. ;>)

I will start a thread about that

I am… but only because of Christmas bills, too many group buys, and stuff still stuck in the mail system.
(I don’t count them until they arrive!)

I think a month may be too long,

From what little I know of “A” goups I thought you got credit on a daily basis.

Monthy just seems to high a standard?

I guess we are actually too cured. I haven’t bought any flashlights since Christmas presents. But although it is good to be cured of the flashlight on our backs, we are letting down the economy’s of both the United States and China. Now I understand why China’s GDP is shrinking. We better make the sacrifice and buy some flashlights and save teh world’s economy’s. :>)

I’m not too cured, I’m too uncured! :open_mouth: I keep buying more flashlights! I gave up on being cured. Now, I no longer suffer from flashaholism, I revel in it! J)

Your definately in need of a sponsor!! I am also having the urge to buy something I don’t need. I keep telling myself it’s so cheap how could it hurt? I already feel myself clicking on the add to cart button as I write this. :>)

I been off the market for months now, but tonight, I made a list of 25 must-haves for the latter half of 2015!

By definition a list of “must haves” can’t have 25 items on it!!! :>) You are definitely a flashaholic.

I just received a Solarforce L2M body. I already have two which are made into mini’s with XM-L2 drop ins. I would get an XP-L drop in for this new body but no one that has one seems excited by them. So I don’t know which drop in to get.

I told my wife the other day that I might just go ahead and buy something every week, so that eventually I will be getting deliveries at least once a week. She thought I was kidding. J)

Next step: Flashaholic Bi-polarism!

Which room in the house will you turn into a Flashlight Museum?? :>)

This is sad.
Been buying budget lights since December.
Now I’m starting to buy budget knives too.
My wife’s B-Day is coming up. Guess what I want to get her?

One of these?

If you really loved her, it would at least have an MT-G2 @ 5A… How else will she find her keys?

I have been fiscally sober now for 9 weeks (really just making a close number up) that I have not bought any lumen stuff. I also took a step toward long term fiscally sobrity by selling one flashlight this week.

“This thread is set aside for members to reward themselves for each month they can go without spending anything on flashlights.

Rules are:

1) You are encouraged to post every month gone without making ANY flashlight or flashlight accessories purchases.

2) You are encouraged to report back each time you vow to go a month with no purchases, and then again if (when!) you fail. If you don’t post failures, this thread may well go dark quickly. :wink:

3) If, after succeeding one whole month (Hah!), a member wishes to renew their vows of non-spending, they are encouraged to re-post.

Let’s get in therapy. Everyone of us is LONG overdue!”

I keep dreaming of the JM30 in MT-G2 (is that normal)?

Thanks for sharing…

Ok Next?

Just started my part time job for 3 months

I guess I won’t be online shopping for 3 months then

25th June shall be my endpoint

I still have not bought anything since the X6 SE, but won a flashlight in a giveaway (not delivered yet)

I tried - and failed…

a Meteor is coming to Austria! 8)

I haven’t bought any flashlights or flashlight related materials in several weeks, but not because I’m so good at resisting temptation. I’ve been low on spending money. In fact, I was in the recent GB for the Nitecore EC11 and had to back out because of lack of funds. :_( I’m just hoping I get back in the swing before the Luckysun D80 and Eagle Eye A6 GB’s are ready, cause I’ve got spots reserved in both of those, too!
