Jodie Sweetin may be known for her role as spunky middle daughter Stephanie Tanner of "Fuller House" and its predecessor "Full House," but she lived a darker life for many years, addicted to both drugs and alcohol.
In her 2009 book "UnSweetined," the actress detailed how she first got drunk at Candace Cameron Bure's wedding.
"I probably had two bottles of wine, and I was only 14. That first drink gave me the self-confidence I had been searching for my whole life. But that set the pattern of the kind of drinking that I would do," the actress tellingly revealed.
She also battled an addiction to crystal meth.
"My life is amazing now," the actress revealed to People.
"I will have five years [of sobriety] in March. It's given me a lot of gratitude," she revealed.
The actress also revealed that she talks to college students about her addictions and how she was able to overcome them.
"I speak about my experience growing up in the entertainment business, what my life was like after, some of the struggles and things I went through and where my life is today," she remarked.
"It's a story with a message of second chances and turning things around and being able to overcome some adversity," Sweetin concluded.
The "Fuller House" star was married three times. Her second marriage to Cody Herpin left her with the gift of daughter Zoie and her last marriage to Morty Coyle gave her daughter Beatrix.
She is currently in a relationship with Justiin Hodak. She shared a sweet Instagram pic of her family for the holidays to her followers.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! @justinhodak_

Sweetin is clearly enjoying her sober life and relishes the chance to return to the small screen in a role so beloved by fans around the world.
The actress loves the close "bond" the cast shares, according to People, and that the friends of over 30 years are like "family."
"Fuller House" debuts on Netflix in February.
