Do you already know or suspect that you are a perfectionist? It is the sole purpose of S.R.P.--a totally informal association with no dues, meetings, newsletters, membership rosters or whatever--to help you deal with it. Of course, as with any problem, the first step is to realize that you indeed have it and could use some help. As Alexander said, "The things that don't exist are the most difficult to get rid of." Acquiring the S.R.P. membership certificate and regularly contemplating it are definite steps in the right direction. $6.50 brings your own personalized, numbered, and dated copy, printed on fine paper and mailed in a tube.
