The Most Surprising Revelation From Jodie Sweetin's Memoir

Posted by Valentine Belue on Saturday, June 15, 2024

According to Today, Sweetin began with alcohol in high school, before moving to marijuana and eventually hard drugs in college. But it was at the premier of the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie "New York Minute" in 2004 when things really took a turn.

"I knew I couldn't last a New York minute without doing more meth," she writes in her book. "I had it in my purse, with a straw, in a little baggie inside a lip-gloss container. Often I would do meth quickly in public bathrooms, blowing the smoke into wet paper towels so you couldn't see it. At the premiere, though, I just snorted it because I knew I couldn't bring a whole pipe." (via Entertainment Weekly).

Jodie Sweetin continued to struggle with drug abuse for years following the event, but has been clean and sober since the end of 2008 — something she knows she will stick to due to her children. "The best thing that I can do for them is just be an example of not only what recovery looks like, but what just being a good human looks like," she told Today in 2019. "I hope that I am raising little social justice warriors (who) will do good in the world."
