I forgot to mention that as of yesterday I'm 7 months sober

I have an appointment with pdoc on Monday… $30 copay and $18 in cab fare each way. Ouch.
Then I have an appointment with my substance abuse counselor on Thursday… $95 and $14 cab fare each way. Ouch.
1 week=$189. Very painful.

The following week I have an appointment scheduled with my therapist, and another one with my substance abuse counselor. I could omit one or both to save myself some dough. Otherwise, it would be another $189 week.

I don't see any harm in skipping a week of counseling, aside from the fact that I want to get the sessions over with as soon as possible so I'll be eligible to get my license back faster. I'm sure my counselor will understand that I need to skip a week because of financial reasons.

I'd love to cancel the appointment with my therapist too. It would be nice to save myself the money and give myself a whole week off, but I haven't seen her in a long time and I really should go. If I just keep the appointment with her it would be a $66 week.

Next month, I also have to send drunk.org a $60 fee for "monitoring" me (via phone). I shouldn't have to send another one because I expect to finish my counseling next month, as long as everything goes as planned.

I just started thinking about how costly car insurance will be when I do get my license back. I honestly have no idea, but I'm sure the payments will be ridiculous and will rival what I'm paying now between counseling sessions and cab fare. There's also the BIG 20% down to consider. I'm not freaking out about it yet because it's still a long way off, but I guess it's a sign that I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel again.
