Hi Awake, welcome back. 
I can feel yours and your families pain. But it never needs happen again, ever. That’s the good thing that can come out of it.
By staying sober you can walk away from the madness of drinking, as did we and the way we drank and regrets we had.
I’m guessing you realise this already and you’ve maybe got a plan to stay sober?
Hope we see more of you soon.

Sun_Day Here ~
And, I do mean SUN. 102 F [39 C] at the peak today. This run of temps is why I headed to the proverbial Hills a few Days ago to 10,160' [~3,100 Meters], and fine Trout fishing. ~30 F [16 C] cooler up there. Caught my limit of 4 while MesaDog luxuriated in the Wild Flowers that abundant Spring Precip made possible.
'Tis wonderful to read of the varied SoberVersaries here. No such thing as an irrelevant Achievement, eh? Keep On Keepin' On, Folks!
And, speaking of irrelevant Achievements, it seems we managed to scoot around Skye for a few Days and not see Dun Ringill, Dee. D'OH! We did hike around the Hills, and found overgrown Concrete Bunkers from WW II where Soldiers kept watch for Sea-based Invaders. There was a fantastic Beach of smooth Pebbles used to land Allied Airplanes at Low Tide, and some old Buildings converted to a Hostel. Memorable.
A/C is on now as of 08:00 Hours. Healthy Cereal & Banana is history. Coffee. To the Dog Park we shall go imminently in order to beat the heat...

Welcome eve, you can do this. Weekends definitely have something that makes staying sober a little bit harder than the rest of the week. I think that is true even if you have to work or are retired.
I say this quite often, you don't have to have quit to join Weekenders, you just have to want to.
Welcome Awake, well done for overcoming the understandable reluctance to post after a relapse. I reckon that bodes well for the future. In my time here quite a few people have got sober after DUI's.
Mesadog is a fine looking chap, very calm and wise looking.

I prefer the thin crust myself. Your snack looks delicious! Deconstructed is all the rage.

I used to be a deep dish follower, but these days I've gone thin crust Chitown (NOT NY style)
Chicago style thin crust is crispy and can't be folded (like NY style), and the sauce and ingredients go to the edge of the crust (unlike NY style).
Instead of wedges, it is often cut in squares. It is the food of the gods. . .
Here is more on that if you are interested

Three weeks off, Dragon! How wonderful.
Pizza. Thanks for that, Hawk. I admit I'm not a pizza aficionado so apologies for my blasphemy (if there was any )
Happy Sober Monday everyone, another weekend without a drink and I didn't miss that. Stick with us this week if you're struggling.
