The person doing the evaluation decides how much counseling (how many weeks/how many sessions) I need based on standardized tests and an interview. I don't know how much each counseling session costs (over $100), but I have to pay for every one of them out of pocket. I can't get my license back until I've completed everything they've recommended AND the counselor is satisfied.
Because I have to do my counseling in my home state, I have to pay drunk.org an additional $350 out-of-state monitoring fee which is ********.

$200 substance evaluation
+$60 monitoring fee at 2nd appointment (then monthly)
+$350 out-of-state fee
-----------------
$610 BEFORE any counseling

Guess what we'll be spending my husband's Christmas bonus on?

The football game didn't start until 8:30 last night, so my husband had to miss it again. But all the kitties watched it with me. I've trained Buddy to give me a kinda high five. By the end of the season, he'll be all the way there lol. The Pats won big, but there were a lot of injuries again. It was a good game.
