This is me as well. I worked as an international consultant. However, they are almost all either divorced multiple times, alcoholic, or both. A perfect fit for me at the time. I spent so much time being away from my family, making promises about "when I got back", and then failing to fulfill any of those promises. Unfortunately, once you are known, then getting jobs is easy - and easy is one thing alcoholics like.
