Day 20.

06:00

Woke up and forgot it was the weekend, so went back to sleep.

07:00

Breakfast – Rice Krispies and apple juice.

Feel tired but amazing this morning, hopefully today I can get released from isolation and back into the castle.

Read the last chapter of the AA big book, chapter 11 – A vision for you.  Also read the first 3 stories at the back.

Very thought provoking and I was proud that I read the whole AA book in isolation, just the remaining stories to read.

08:40

FREEDOM!

Back to the castle I go, Isolation finished!

End of Isolation Diary 🙂

Felt good to be out, weekends are more relaxed so it was a chilled day.

Nurse said to me to move back into my previous room before isolation.

Packed a few bags and went up to my old room at the top of the castle.  Pushed the door open and as I walked in, I noticed some clothes all over the bed?  My room has been taken by someone else whilst I was in isolation.

Talked to the nurses and some senior staff and was told that I could just stay in the same room I was in for isolation, and that it will be cleaned today.

I did not mind this, as this room was nicer than the old room, had a better shower, and less stairs to walk up to get to my room.

Before going into isolation, I had started working on an inspirational video for the talent show and drafted up a full concept whilst in isolation.  Started back on this video today and it feels nice to work on a video project again, especially because it is going to portray unity, recovery and the 12 steps.  Another peer is a music producer, so I am using this peers track to mix the video into.

Overall it was nice to be back with the peers in the castle, having catch up conversations and meeting the new peers.

Time to get back into a routine and continue my 12 steps.
