I'm just picking up my axe after nearly a decade away from it (see avatar). I work 40+ hours, have 2 kids, and attempt to spend time with Mrs. Coaster. Plus, the average evening, the kids hit the hay about 7:30, so weeknight practice is out. I find usually only one day a week to set any serious practice in.
As it is, however, when I put the horn down, I had come up to a very high level. Not high enough to make a living at it, but pretty high. Even with minimum practice, I'm surprised at how well it has come back. I'm nowhere near where I used to be, but I'm able to play my parts for concerts. I just play for fun, so there's no stress. In fact, playing now is a big stress reliever.
A small amount of practice can go far if you do it right.
