Jeez, I just read Cadet's thread saying most folks only begin to reconcile after about 9 months. Gulp!
It's very rare to see it happen in less time (without relapses), but I don't think people can measure their time frame with someone else's. The point is that it always takes longer than the LBS ever thought it would when he first arrives on the board.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
