Cleveland park is bizarre to me. Such a gorgeous area and close to RCP, but the restaurant and bar scene there is really limited

Does anyone know if DC libraries have any reciprocity with VA? (I have a card with Arlington’s library)

I call BS. I've been to the zoo like 4-5 times now and have never seen that damn panda.

Ugh ya. It's just brutal being in a rush in the morning and hitting a 14 or 15min wait.

Are you sure? When I bought my car in 2008 I was able to provide a signed bill of sale price that they honored. I remember because it was a good $3000 below NADA

For Cherry Blossom Festival I'd highly recommend timing it to see the kite festival. It's super cool to see so many in the air around the washington monument.
In general I recommend watching the smithsonian calendar and filtering by 'performances' or 'after hours' for interesting events.

How long has it been a problem?
There have been some really promising studies using psychadelics to help with alcoholism you could also look into. (Do this legally and safely if you do it).
Also are you seeing a psychologist/therapist?
Good luck to you. Either way I suggest trying to develop as many healthy habits as you can around sleep & exercise, and STAY SOCIAL. Lots of studies seem to show that loneliness can really exaggerate addiction conditions. In general I just feel like you have to tackle the roots of the trauma causing addiction.
Please note that I'm not a medical professional and this is not medical advice.
If you ever want to join some non-drinking activities feel free to message me. I've cut alcohol out by about 90% for me (though i didn't have problems in the past, just don't like it anymore)
