i think that it would take about 2 years since you were going to get your pointe shoes but then quit.. so you probably still have the talent but just build your ankles more since they probably aren't as strong as before :]

I depends on your level but you would need to have enough strength and technique to support your body, I would say at least 1-2 yrs, depending on how good you are.
