Hello
Not really an alcoholic, but have a reoccurring obsessions regarding relationships. I don't like the feeling of always thinking about the other person, or bugging them beyond normal limits.
Its damaging me and my relationships.

I understand that completely. I think my codependency on my SO did a lot to feed my depression and anxiety. I didn't even realize how deeply codependent I was until I stopped drinking and realized that I had another layer to deal with.
One thing I can suggest is to try to develop healthy boundaries for yourself and make yourself a priority, at least some of the time. It's not healthy to always put others before you.

Welcome to SR memsahib13!
I read the book 'Codependent No More' by Melody Beattie and it was the first time I really understood what was going on with me. It was just a beginning for me but what a great feeling to finally have some understanding of the decisions I was making when it came to relationships.
