I think I’ve done this as well 
I had my first proper LD and then I got sidetracked trying to LD again and gave up on my dream journal for a bit 
Take it as a lesson on how important your DJ is, that’s how I see it. I’m much more motivated to keep a better DJ now that I understand how big an impact it has on your dreaming. It only took me a few days to get my dream recall up to a good level before so I’m not to worried 
Also try reading this post and what it says about DJs I found it to be very helpful.
