Jodie Sweetin says John Stamos has been a key part of her sobriety journey, crediting her Full House co-star with steady support as she rebuilt her life after addiction. Sweetin, who got sober on December 7, 2008, opened up about their bond during a recent appearance on the Dory Jackson Interview, according to Daily Mail.
The two share a deep connection through recovery. Stamos, who faced his own DUI arrest in Beverly Hills in June 2015 before entering treatment, later presented Sweetin with a sobriety award in 2019. Their friendship — built on the set of Full House decades ago — has grown into a mutual commitment to staying clean, The Blast reported.
A Blackout at 14 and a Long Road to Recovery
Sweetin took her first drink at age 14, at co-star Candace Cameron's wedding. She blacked out that night. According to Daily Mail, that early experience set the stage for years of alcohol abuse that followed her rise to fame as Stephanie Tanner on Full House.
Her sobriety finally took hold after a dramatic turning point. On a flight to Los Angeles, Sweetin drank heavily — including NyQuil — and an emergency custody investigation was launched shortly after. That crisis pushed her to commit fully to sobriety. She has two daughters: Zoie, now 18, with ex Cody Herpin, and Beatrix, now 15, with ex Morty Coyle, Head Topics noted.
Stamos Presented Her a Sobriety Award in 2019
In 2019, Stamos stood beside Sweetin to present her with an award honoring her work in the recovery community. It was a moment that showed just how far the two had come together. Sweetin told the Dory Jackson Interview that having Stamos there meant everything to her, according to Daily Mail.
Stamos' own path to sobriety followed his 2015 DUI in Beverly Hills. He entered treatment that year and has been open about his recovery since. Yahoo News reported that the two have spoken about letting their actions — not their words — serve as the real proof of their commitment to staying sober.
'Let Your Sobriety Speak for Itself,' Sweetin Says
Sweetin and Stamos have both said they prefer to lead by example rather than push others toward recovery. Sweetin has said the goal is for consistency to do the talking. "Actions and consistency are the true witnesses to recovery," she explained, according to The Blast.
That philosophy shows up in how the two discuss their journeys publicly. They share their stories to inspire, not to lecture. Sweetin chronicled her path from addiction to sobriety in her memoir unSweetined, which remains one of the most candid celebrity accounts of alcohol dependency and recovery.
Fuller House Reunion Kept Their Bond Strong Through the 2010s
Sweetin and Stamos reunited professionally on Fuller House, the Netflix revival of Full House that ran from 2016 to 2020. Working together again gave them a shared space during a critical period in both of their recoveries. Stamos had just gotten sober when the show began filming, Yahoo News reported.
Their friendship now extends well beyond the screen. Both have continued to speak about sobriety in recent media appearances, using their platform to connect with others in the recovery community. Sweetin said Stamos' support has been "crucial" to her staying on track, according to Head Topics.
