Everyone's take on this varies, even just a little.
I needed to know because of what had been said to be once, offered as an excuse, for not looking ahead.
Even though the OP is old, reviewing it helps my understanding of what recovering folks are dealing with, and to some degree, what I can expect.
Peace.
