No obsession is healthy. You should be glad that your feelings for Tolkien have changed.
That's just what happens with human interests: they tend to ebb.
And don't worry, you might come back to Tolkien with a passion that is stronger and truer than your previous feeling. It won't be all-consuming or overbearing, and that is actually something to look forward to.
