It's too bad that your earlier threads are gone Benni. Looking at your sitch now, it's easy for people to forget where you were when you came on the boards. I've read your old threads many times and your BD is pretty much identical to what I've experienced and what I have read here. So, for people to feel that you had an 'easier' road seems a bit disingenuous.
As for the timeline, my take is that this is strictly for the LBS. I don't think it matters if the WAS thinks about recon in 6, 9, 12, 24 months. I approach the timeline with where I want to be in my own journey of improvement.
I am nowhere near recon, don't even know if that will happen, but I know that my timeline is dictated by goals that I want to achieve. Once I am there and I have sufficiently improved to my own satisfaction, then I can make a decision on how to proceed. If my W came back for a recon tomorrow, I am no way ready to do that because I know what I need to work on and I am not there yet.
