Well..OK, fine..but the meetings are only a buck. Wonder what cognitive therapy's going to cost me?

True, and not even the $hrinks could show they were WORSE.

Bingo. My wife got a DUI and by the time we were done with the court ordered therapy, the cost was over $7000. Of course, it didn't work.

They even hauled my butt in for a couples meeting with a therapist. The therapist asked me why I stay with a woman who drinks. Um... She's my wife?

The "buck" is also purely voluntary. If you don't want to give you don't have to, especially at the beginning. After a while typically one feels an obligation and not due to guilt.
