    Question: Once you were sober and on the mend and things had improved etc. How long did you wait before making any new plans or commitments? In AA I think they say two years? Is there a time frame or is it more individual thing? I know piling on too much pressure in early recover isn't ideal but what worked best for you?

    Hi Sigma
    2 years is a bit of bad advice I'm afraid, a bit like 90 meetings in 90 days- not part of the program and not documented in any official AA literature like the Big Book.It's rubbish that has been born out of treatment centres.
    Making decisions following a period of sobriety very much depends on what the decision is and how the resulting action will affect you/others.
    It is always wise to consult with your sponsor before making any 'big' decisions and also what is your gut telling you. Of course always ask Him(Higher Power) for guidance/inspiration.
