Not spare change, but not more than I spent on booze in a week.

I should note that I also have anxiety and depression and am on an SSRI, have been since just before I quit drinking, and I started going to the counselor for many of the same reasons you mention. It's too early to say what the outcome is but I can tell you already it feels so wonderful to talk to someone who has experience in the intersection between my various issues.
