Artsy, I've gotten into the same impatient feelings. I don't think there is a set timeframe. My W and I have now surpassed any length of NC time we've previously known in 17 years. So, I can certainly sympathize/empathize with you. Be patient, just keep living your life smile its changes to you 9not saving the M) that actually becomes the goal. I think, the M saving turns out to be a byproduct almost of saving OURSELVES smile just my 2 cents
