I don’t mean some horrible life consuming game like Dragons and Dungeons, or some religion revolving around Tolkien’s books. I just wish that the story didn’t end. I guess that does sound kind of obsessive, maybe I am getting too caught up in the Lord of the Rings… I know there is more to life .

Obsessive? No. More to life? No.
Why, sir, you are getting hooked, just like many have before you and many will after you.

If you've watched the films, go back and watch them all over again! If you've finished the books, read them again! It wasn't very long at all after my first read that I had to go back and enjoy them again, and I've kept doing it ever since. I wish I could get that first rush of discovering Tolkien all over again!
What else is there? All the extra books like HoMe as has been mentioned, the things which inspired Tolkien - one of my first non-Middle-earth reads was the Humphrey Carpenter biography which then fired me up for more. And the fan-fiction, but what about the RPGs on the 'Downs? There's some great stuff in those and they are a perfect outlet for the imagination too.
Then there are hundreds of critical books, some heavy, some light-hearted, books on learning Elvish languages, books on Tolkien's art, and so on. Admittedly not all of the books are easy to find depending on where you live but the US and UK Amazon sites are good sources, as can be e-bay. You could even join the Tolkien Society as they send out their journals Amon Hen and Mallorn - and maybe you could even end up attending one of the events?
Honestly, you could go on forever...
