I see a lot of my OCD's slipping away as I age. I don't think this worked for (the aviator guy, forgot hist name). I step on cracks on purpose now. I don't mind so much if my food touches. I can see a messy spot and not let it bother me so much (though I still have an urge to clean it).

I think being a computer programmer has cured me of that for the most part. Sometimes good enough is good enough. It doesn't have to be perfect.
