I thought that once I made the decision it would be clear sailing too. For some it might be but that was not my experience.
I was kinda expecting recovery to be a straight line - the further I got in time from point A the easier it would be.
It didn't turn out that way - I had many close calls, dark nights of the soul and doubling back in my journey.
Some periods have been pretty rough.
The fact this forum exists shows that my experience is pretty common
I really hope you will have an easy journey Admiral and never look back - but in all honesty it will probably serve you best to expect at least a little trouble down the track - that way, at worst, you've slightly over prepared, and at best you'll be keyed in and ready for any turbulence
