Since I've quit drinking again this last week or so I've been OCD about this site, on it and checking it constantly, healthier than drinking sure but still a manifestation of those tendencies. Just last night my addiction came out regarding this site, the voice was telling me that I'm weird and no one likes me and I just stop coming on here and I should definitely stop talking about all of this stuff.
I had very obsessive thoughts when I first quit drinking. Once I got something negative in my mind I could not shake. I don't think that necessarily means you have ocd, but it wouldn't hurt to talk to a professional about it if it negatively affecting your life
