Thanks. The $250 was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I realize that I am responsible for all my actions past and present. But since August I have spent:
$38,000 - inpatient rehab
$. 2,500 - IOP, outpatient group
$. 200/month - drug testing+$25/test
( This is required for 5 years)
$. 250/month - Indiv. Rehab cnslg.
Plus various copays for PCP visits.

I am grateful for Rehab it saved my life. The unending expenditures are putting a tremendous stress on my family. That is another reason I have to not drink. I do not want to endanger my recovery. So the $250 was where I had to say ‘no more’. An interesting side note, yesterday my testing administrator called to inform me that they were going to test my B sample free of charge. It seems they have had a large number of positive Peth tests for the month of December. I am so thankful for this thread and the links to papers. I will let you know how my case turns out.
