I know exactly how you feel!! I started this hobby back in December and I love it. I borrowed a 10G from my mom and then I "needed" a 46G for my bar. I totally get into the planning stage and then the setup and then the cycling and testing the water and then the picking the fish and then...... Heck, I even like partial water changes. Hubby and fam tells me I'm obsessive. I told my hubby the other day that I'd like a 110G and he was like WHAT?!!? So I'll be holding off on that for awhile. I've never had a real hobby that I've enjoyed so much. Well until lately I've discovered that I love flower gardens. We just built a house so we're doing our own landscaping. Did you know that plants are exactly like fish? They like certain ph's, they get fungus and bacteria problems, some are more finicky than others, oh, and it costs alot. I'm telling you, now I'm just as obsessive about plants. Anyway, long ramble. But yeah, I know how you feel. It's been about 8 months now since I started this and I've calmed down a bit. so maybe you will too. The newness eventually wears off. Some.
