Recovery really is a la carte.
If it works for you, do it. If it doesn't work, find something else that does.

I am debating stopping my counseling. My therapist is nice, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm getting as much out of it as I did in the beginning - and my insurance covers most of it, so it's not a money issue, I just feel there may be better ways to spend that one hour twice a month.
I do like having him as backup regarding XABF's occasional appearances (since he does not seem to understand the meaning of the phrases "It's over" and "No"), but after that I may simply stop going.

Does this therapist specialize in addictions?
From some of your other posts, it sounded like this is the wrong sort of counselor to go to, anyway. It felt like she bought into you AH's story a bit too often, and wanting you to "compromise." That might be me reading into things, though.


Ultimately, it's your decision.
Don't go simply because you feel guilty not going and aren't getting anything out of it, and don't stop going if the money is the only problem but the therapist is working out great.

It's your decision to make - but either answer can be right, if it's right for you.
