Answer

That would be a correct phrase. "I got to the point where" means "I eventually". It occurs in positive (I got to the point where I was fluent) or negative (I got to the point where I couldn't take his singing any more) contexts. If you visualize your progress in a given context as traveling along a path, you are literally "reaching a point" on that path.
