Full House Cast’s Quotes About Addiction: Jodie Sweetin, More

In the nearly three decades since Full House aired its final episode, several of the series stars have been candid about overcoming their respective addictions.

“We all have our demons,” Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the sitcom, exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2016. “When we finally learn to let them go, we get to live and be free. I look back at things that have happened in the past, and I look at where I’m now, and it’s crazy. If anything, my life is a lesson to never give up.”

Sweetin began struggling with drug abuse shortly after Full House’s conclusion, getting hooked on the likes of ecstasy, crystal meth and cocaine.

“I got sober for good on December 7, 2008. I was flying to L.A. and I ended up taking a bunch of Nyquil and drinking a s—load,” she told Us in October 2009. “When I got home, I got a call that there was an emergency custody investigation because of my drinking. From that day forward, I threw myself into going to [Alcoholics Anonymous] and avoided people who do blow off their coffee tables. … Life is good. I’m happier than I can remember.”
