Jodie Sweetin Memoir Details Drug Abuse
What happened to Stephanie Tanner?
As a part of the Tanner family in the classic '90s tv show Full House, Jodie Sweetin spent her early years growing up in front of America. But after the show was over, Sweetin drifted into a spiral of drug and alcohol addiction. In her new memoir, unSweetined, the former child star talks about her long road to recovery.
In the new book, Sweetin describes years of drug abuse that began after Full House finished its final season in 1995, when she was just 13.
In one section of the book, Sweetin even confesses to being high on extacy, cocaine and meth while working for the Just Say No anti-drug campaign. She would show up high to speeches at colleges, and no one would notice.
"I did a few key bumps and headed to the lecture hall, where a sold-out crowd waited to hear me speak," Sweetin writes in the excerpt. "I thought for sure that one of the professors would take one look at me and kick me out. But none did. They wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Jodie Sweetin, or at least the Jodie Sweetin I had created."
Still, she continued to spiral downwards, needing to make money to support a drug habit that ran almost $1,000 a week.
It wasn't until she became a mother that she finally decided to clean up, and now she wants to tell the world about how she is working to overcome her demons.
Who knows, maybe there are a few other former child stars **coughLindsayLohancough** who could learn a few things from Sweetin's tell-all.
