Good luck, I'm trying to take a step back myself after living a couple months off poker (and savings). Personally I think I have disipline and related issues to conquer before I can truly call myself a 'good' player, though I can certainly bottom-feed all right at the moment.
And they're so right, you need to put your time in, but not too much at once, remember that 'phoning it in' is far worse in poker (or anything else where YOUR money is directly on the line) than in your average job.
