Not to pile on, but to reiterate what poetrymom and others have stated, abstaining from alcohol will be important for you to make progress. I suggest reviewing the following articles.

You own your recovery process. I agree with Mark there are a lot of things you can do to improve your symptoms before spending $6k for a smell and taste clinic. Lifestyle changes (more quiet rest, no alcohol, less computer media time) are likely to be much more effective in improving your symptoms.
Best to you as you recover.
