It's a judgement call whether or not you want to let a roomful of people know about that sort of thing. In some instances it wouldn't be wise. But it sounds like in this case you were the teacher, and did a compassionate thing.

I let people know I'm a recovering drunk fairly regularly. Sometimes that means getting typecast, and having people's issues brought up. But it can spark communication, and things sure can get interesting.
