Ji@nBing Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Former Full House cutie Jodie Sweetin has earned herself a spot on the lengthy list of child stars gone wrong. During an appearance on Good Morning America Wednesday, Sweetin, who played middle sister Stephanie Tanner on the hit sitcom, revealed that she is a recovering meth addict and once battled a daily drug habit. The ex-actress, 24, said she had trouble figuring out how to adjust to a regular childhood existence after Full House ended its run in 1995. "There is a certain sense of loss when a series ends," Sweetin said. "It is kind of hard to figure out who you are when you've lost your job at age 13, when that was basically how you identified yourself." In an attempt to lead a "normal" kid's life, Sweetin attended high school and college, graduating with a degree in liberal arts. In 2002, she married a Los Angeles police officer. Though she occasionally appeared in bit parts on TV series, including Party of Five and Yes, Dear, Sweetin's acting career essentially stalled after Full House. Two years ago, bored and unemployed, the former child star began experimenting with drugs as a way to pass the time. She was soon addicted to methamphetamine and using the debilitating drug every day. Though Sweetin stops short of blaming her addiction on her child-star lifestyle, she concedes that her career may have stripped her of some of the benefits of a typical childhood. "Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast--you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks," Sweetin said Wednesday. After a particularly bad three-day bender, which reportedly resulted in an intervention staged by her former Full House costars, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget, Sweetin checked herself into Promises rehab facility for six weeks of intensive therapy. Clean and sober since March of last year, Sweetin now admits she was "living a total double life." "I was married to a police officer--we are going through a divorce right now--he had no idea," she said. Since kicking her addiction, Sweetin says she now hopes to get back into acting. "I want to make movies, TV series, wherever the career takes me," she said. "I really hope this isn't the last people hear of me. In fact, I would like to make this a footnote in my career, not the end." Source :rofl: ROFL! I wish Stephanie addicted to meth had been a plotline on the show!!

Rob Veteran Posted February 2, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 2, 2006 :rofl: ROFL! I wish Stephanie addicted to meth had been a plotline on the show!! A bit insensitive, it's a serious problem! Still, it would make a killer plot line, you're right. All the best to her for getting back and drug free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catharsis Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 My heart goes out to people like this. AND her husband leaving her after this? And she's clean now? No forgiveness and reconciliation on his part? That's terrible. I wonder if he cares about his own reputation more than his own bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arckon Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, but usually it's just cigarettes or at the most, pot. Meth would be so funny!! I don't think it's a good idea to say that "Meth would be so funny." Drug abuse can be a very serious issue and should never be taken lightly. She admitted she had a problem, she got help, and hopefully things will much better for her now. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt this is the sole reason for the divorce. There is also no mention of who wanted the divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, I know it's serious and it's good for her that she got help and is clean now. However, I've always found Full House to be the most stupid show ever created and the idea of a plotline with Stephanie on meth really cracks me up. I dunno, maybe it's just my sense of humor.
