What do you know about your therapist's drinking (or otherwise) habits? Do they drink? Are they sober? Are they recovered? Have you spoken about it?

Therapists deal with addiction issues as part of their job so I've always been curious as to whether or not a therapist might withhold their own drinking (or otherwise) status in order to make their clients feel more comfortable- one way or the other. Unless they're both in recovery, of course.

My T has made passing references that made me think she was recovered or didn't drink, but then I found a picture of her online where she was holding a can - I'm 90% certain- was a beer. I'm not bothered by it but surprised by my own assumption that she was totally sober. I really had no solid reason to think that.

I'm very self-conscious about how often I drink or how much so the subject has come up but I've never just asked her, "do you drink? Are you sober?" I feel like it's too personal a question and not really my business, I guess?
