I think, it fairly depends on how much you "remember" your original story. For instance, when I do battles in _X-Com: Long War_ with long breaks, it usually results in a gigantic mess-up with destroyed SHIVs and corpses of my best soldiers littered everywhere. But that's just an anecdotal evidence, as it can be just as much the fault of those aimbot-using Thin Men, or the endless swarm of Floaters. So, try and see, if you can continue it, but if that doesn't work out, you still can create a new story, that keeps some elements from the original. For instance, the original (leaked) Half-Life 2 was much more different than it's released version, out of which, many contents were cut, including the entire Half-Life 3.
