Talking specifically about the way it affected her personal and academic life as just a child trying to live a normal life, Sweetin so clearly craved what many other kids take for granted.
Let me just fit in, not make any waves, and just be like everyone else. The show forced Sweetin into this divide of feeling pressure to outwardly be one person on the outside, and feeling like someone different on the inside. She spent years building a facade to try to protect herself, which, in turn, also meant being forced to keep some emotions in. So I started finding other ways in order to keep building this facade and this exterior of confidence and of normalcy.
These other ways Sweetin discussed came in the form of just alcohol at first. Sweetin took a sip of alcohol at the age of 13 after sneaking a beer with a friend, and it finally made her feel free. However, this pattern of sneaking, lying, stealing and using led Sweetin through some of the darkest times in her life. For years, Sweetin went through denial in thinking that she had a problem. Her self-loathing and self-hatred behaviors destroyed her more and more with each use.
A cycle so difficult to get of, Sweetin thought she would never survive. However, some friends in college notified her parents of her behavior and Sweetin ended up going home for a few weeks. Yet here I was faced with the opportunity to finally get sober. Over the course of the next few years, Sweetin got married and graduated, but realized that everything she had built was a shell. She was still so concerned about pleasing everyone and about what others spoke about her. Unfortunately, during this time, she relapsed.
She became addicted to meth as well as alcohol, and her acting career dwindled to almost nothing. During these years she married and divorced three times, and she had two daughters.
It was her daughters who finally helped her find sobriety. But one day she was caught driving while drunk with her youngest daughter in the car. Who knew this little blonde scene-stealer in a side pony-tale would grow up and change so many lives. Mine included Her sobriety is inspirational to say the least.
Congrats Jodie on this award recognizing your extraordinary journey. You give so many people HOPE. Love you! Following years out of the business, making occasional TV appearances, Sweetin returned to the role that made her famous. It quickly became a big success for the streaming service, airing for five seasons from So I definitely want to do more of that. Becca Bleznak Twitter.
