Anyone else have a daily OCD routine

My days during are pretty much the same. My OCD makes me follow a pretty strict routine.
I get up at 350 let the dog out
I do a 45 minute workout
I shower use the restroom get dressed
5am remove the bedding from the couch and put it away
Quietly go in my boys room and kiss his forehead goodbye
Quietly go in my daughter's room and kiss her forehead goodbye. Lay the dog in his bed next to hear
Once star arrives I check and see what the plans are and see if she needs any activity money
Get to work at 6.

That starts a whole new routine
Get off at 3
Head home use the restroom and take a quick shower.
Greet the kids and say goodbye to Star

Then we start cooking dinner.
We eat around 5 while the kids eat I start cleaning up.
When they are done I clean up after dinner.

We then watch tv, play games, read books but 7:45. I help my boy at a bath and get ready for bed. He's in bed by 8.

My daughter was quite time until 9.
She loves to read by the fireplace.
While she's doing that. I get my boys clothes and anything they need for tomorrow ready. I make their lunch and check to see if they have any even plans or games or practices
9 o'clock kiss my daughter good.
9 to 10 pm I clean up the apartment
10 cigar and whiskey
11:30 I attempt to sleep I usually fall asleep for 45 minutes then I'm awake. My OCD goes into overdrive and I clean my restroom and kitchen until I fall asleep again or my alarm goes off.

Then I repeat the routine
Welcome to my OCD hell
Remove smoking & drinking from your schedule. Go for a swim instead, if can.
@Cigarguy101 It is not the question of OCD but general attitude towards life. To keep a joyous disposition, humans need to consume healthy stuff which means half the battle is won.
Rest of the stuff can be worked gradually once your habits change for better. You can start with your hobbies.

@Lyfis2live well having my cigar and whiskey is something I'm not willing to give up. My life is 90% about my kids when I'm not at work. I have no time for hobbies or anything really. So that 10% is all I have and it's only after they are in bed. I need it. I have one cigar and a double shot of whiskey. I don't get drunk. It's my way of calming my head. Slows everything down
@Cigarguy101 I like you being a doting dad. Try to always lead a healthy life.
Best!
