Actress Jodie Sweetin, who famously played Stephanie Tanner in Full House and its Netflix reboot Fuller House, is opening up about her sobriety.
During a June 2025 interview on Kailyn Lowry's podcast, Barely Famous, Sweetin explained she had issues with alcohol and muscle relaxers. She said she started working on being sober when she was 18 years old. However, her sobriety was an "up and down thing."
In addition, Sweetin said she was not "completely sober" when she released her 2009 memoir, UnSweetined. According to the 43-year-old, she was not being honest about her behavior during speaking engagements for the book.
"When I was first going through all of this and I wrote my book, and doing these speaking engagements about being sober and going through treatments, and I still hadn't gotten completely sober yet. And so, I was saying I was this person and I was not. But no one knew," said the mother of two.
Sweetin said she "felt terrible about" not being honest. In addition, she said she didn't make the decision to be open about her struggles with addiction. Instead, her stay at a treatment facility was outed by someone who "sold the story."
The actress also clarified she has not drunk alcohol in 16 years and stopped taking muscle relaxers shortly after she was prescribed them following a 2011 car accident.
During the podcast interview, Sweetin said she believed she would have struggled with addiction even if she wasn't a child star. The actress, who was adopted by Sam and Jodie Sweetin, explained that her biological parents had issues with addiction.
"All I knew about my parents is that they both struggled with some addiction issues. And so I think there was a weird part of me that because that's all I kind of new about them when I was younger, it was almost like a weird connection to them," said the actress during the podcast.
Sweetin mentioned her sobriety in a September 2021 interview on the Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast. She said she didn't expect to "see [her] 30th birthday" due to her risky behaviors. She also clarified that she didn't necessarily have a "rock-bottom" moment.
"It's not all that I am. I know people are always fascinated by like, 'What was your worst point?' I don't know. I had fun and then there were moments were I wound up in a hospital with acute alcohol poisoning," said Sweetin.
