Stephanie Tanner: Meth Addict
"Full House" Star Admits Meth Problem
Wed Feb 01, 8:36 PM ET


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." Visit for more:

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."

Full House will never be the same to me.

I'll just never rid myself of the mental image of Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse, and Michelle telling Stephanie that she has a meth problem.

I knew there was something wrong with that post. Well it had a M at the begining it reminded me of Morphine with kind of sounds like Methane which reminded me of Bela. Thanks for the correction.

That's scary stuff.

Apparently a girl at my school died this week from OD'ing on alchohol and pills. Good to know that people make it out, because even though I didn't know or particularly like her, it's still a huge shock to hear something like that. To think that I walked by her on my way into the school to write my physics exam this monday is a really scary thought. You always hear the horror stories, and think, no, it could never happen here, people wouldn't do that, but when it actually happens, it really wakes you up. Drugs aren't a game, they can do huge damage to a family and everyone the addict knows.

Yeah.
