Anyone Beaten this type of Obsession?

I need some success stories just to know I'm on the right path... again.
In the beginning of college I came down with bouts of obsession. They would last a week or so once or twice a year. 10 years ago in law school they came on full throttle and until I graduated 2 years later I pretty much obsessed every day about my thoughts... or I couldn't stop thinking about what I was thinking about. I did the program, got married, got a job and things got better but the thought pattern reared it's head several times a year and it took immense effort to make it go away. I moved back to Atlanta where there is lots of family. I made a lot of health changes like almost eliminating alcohol and doing crazy things like chelation therapy to rid myself of heavy metals - I was pretty toxic. I felt great and almost obsession free for 3 years now and BOOM it just came back up and knocked me out. For the last week I'm obsessed about my thoughts every waking moment. I know it's different for everyone but I need a general road map that worked for you. I am such a fun awesome guy that loves people, but now I can't eat, sleep, enjoy moments with my baby boy and wife. I love life, but I'm afraid this will be forever. I have no obsessions ( well I am a nail biter ), and this is the only thing that has ever given me anxiety. I CANNOT do medications - they have all destroyed me. If you have dealt with something like this effectively then I would love to hear from you.
