She did mention being sick years ago, perhaps there is something seriously wrong with her. Her throat is very scratchy and hoarse, maybe that's the drink too, she is an addiction therapist

Given that information, I see exactly what you mean now. Obviously she may not be an alcoholic at all (it could be anything, really), but I cannot blame you for being concerned about that. It would cross my mind too as a possibility, but I guess all we can do is come up with possibilities. Could be IBS, could be some health condition, etc.. You'll probably never know unless she really wants to tell you, but if she's hiding things in the bathroom, I would think she doesn't want to talk about it, whatever it is.
Sorry this is happening to you. Whether she has an addiction problem or not, her problem should not be your problem IMO. You don't have to bluntly ask her about possible alcoholism (because that can come across as accusatory), but you can say that you noticed things have been "different" lately and that you're concerned about her wellbeing.
