Jodie Sweetin (from Full House) admits meth abuse
    #5257053 - 02/02/06 08:42 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)




It seems like nowadays "everywhere you look" there's a tweaker. Well, it's cool that she kicked the habit.



"Full House" Star Admits Meth Problem

By Sarah Hall


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."

Doesn't the full house intervention sound like the plot of an old episode?

"I seen him!"

She might be telling the truth but I think the main reason behind this is for publicity....

Definately. But, given how hot and stacked she is I wouldn't mind seeing her in some movies.

Yeah, I saw some tabloid show interveiwing her a couple of days ago about this and she is extremely hot now. Hopefully someone will give her some sleezy slut part in some movie. That would be good.

:shocked: 

I'm almost tempted to call her agent up and see of she would be down for a meth-fueled sex binge with me.

How fucking stupid must her police officer husband be if he can't spot the signs of a two year meth addiction? Isn't that his job, to be aware of that kind of stuff? He was probably supplying her the entire time.

He was probably too busy looking at her enormous breasts.
