This seems like a pretty big leap...but as for the controlled substance, that would make me feel a little weird too.
I think it is normal to google our therapists. In fact, I think it's not a bad idea, just to make sure we're safe (they haven't been bought to court for client abuse or breaches of confidentiality or whatever).
If I found that information out about my therapist, I would ask about it, because the wondering would affect my therapy. He might say "that happened 5 years ago, and I've been clean and sober since then", he might dodge the subject..there's no telling. But there is nothing wrong with asking, really, if it's going to hinder your trust and your progress in therapy.
Isn't it awful when something comes along that makes therapy harder than it already IS?! Oy.
