OCD: First of all I would not use the word "cure" when dealing with any psychological problem. To answer your question - it is possible for people to reduce OCD symptoms so they do not significantly interfere in their life. There are some good resources on the internet to help you understand some basic principles and tools. Seek professional help if you can't resolve the problem by yourself .

Treating OCD: The best treatment for OCD is not medication but cognitive behavioral therapy usually including exposure and ritual prevention. If you don't want to work with a professional you can try working with a self-help book or join a support group.
