I am someone who dealt with a serious drinking problem in the past and can confidently say that all those signs can indeed be associated with alcoholism but, as others said, they can also be many other things. I definitely neglected my appearance and had many peculiar, secretive behaviors when I was drinking (never on the job though), and was holding a high profile position. I also did the drunk emailing thing a lot, it was one of the most disturbing and shameful part of my condition. People did suspect all kinds of things based on the emails and the secretive behavior including psychosis or DID... except addiction. I don't easily see how she could be confronted about any of these things that you mentioned except being confused about your emails, if there is no more to it that affects you directly, mona. What would you say? If she did have those issues actively, she would most likely just deny it to you or use your concerns as "therapy material". Also, would you really want to dig into your T's potential problems again, like with the old one?
