Full House star lied about sobriety

Jodie Sweetin unsweetinedFormer “Full House” actress Jodie Sweetin appeared on “Today Show” to promote her autobiography and to discuss her past drug use.

Sweetin told Matt Lauer she began abusing alcohol in 1996 at age 14 while attending the wedding of her “Full House” co-star Candace Cameron. 

She said the alcohol abuse eventually led to hardcore drug use, including meth and cocaine.  Sweetin said she attended rehab in 2007 in an effort to kick her substance abuse habit.

Last year, she toured college campuses around the country speaking to young adults about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. 

However, She lied about her sobriety. Sweetin said she duped the public into thinking she was clean and sober.  She said she used the money earned from her college tour to purchase more drugs.

Sweetin now says she has been sober for for 11 months.  The problem is how do we really know if she’s kicked her drug habit? 

How do we know she’s not trying to dupe the public into buying her autobiography so she can use the proceeds to purchase drugs like she did with the proceeds from her college tour last year?

I hope she’s overcome her demons, and I hope she is sincere.  Sweetin portrayed Stephanie Tanner on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995. Her autobiography titled Unsweetined is in stores now.
