February 13, 2005 -- Former child star, Jodie Sweetin, recently admitted to the public that she battled a meth addiction for two years. With appearances on Good Morning America and The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Sweetin detailed her experience with this dangerous drug and what it took for her to seek treatment.
Sweetin’s acting career came to a pause when Full House went off the air in 1995. In an attempt to live a normal life, Sweetin went to high school and college and got married at age 20 to a police officer, who she says had no idea about her addiction. Sweetin started experimenting with meth during a time in her life when she was “unemployed and bored.” In an effort to pass the time, Sweetin’s experimentation soon became a daily habit, which eventually destroyed her marriage and caused enough concern from her former “Full House” cast mates to stage an intervention.
After entering a six-week rehabilitation program, Sweetin has reportedly kept clean and sober since March last year.
