Danger of travelling

I'm an expatriot technician, travelling quite a lot in my work, with free booze on planes, free booze in the executive hotel room rate and no one to control you (or making you control yourself).

I have just return from one of these trips where I was consuming an enormous amount of alcohol, in particular during the week-end.

Now, all this started at the time of my first wife leaving me for someone else. I have since remarried (no kids). I've been trying to analyze what makes me drink: I'm scared. I get this depressive thoughts when I'm alone, without my wife. I'm also scared of what I'm doing. I missed a flight earlier this year because I was intoxicated. I was detained by the airport police and I was late for business meetings a number of times.

I realize that I have to quit, or I will loose everything. I would appreciate feed-back on how you got your habits triggered. When and how it started. How do you deal with other issues, and how do you deal with free alcohol.
