Jodie Sweetin Was High at Sobriety Lecture

Molls told us yesterday about Jodie Sweetin’s new book “Unsweetined” in which she tells of getting drunk at Candace Cameron’s wedding.  You may think the most obvious question is “Where were her parents?” but for me, it’s “Candace Cameron didn’t have a dry wedding?”

In the most recent and riveting release of information, Sweetin admits that she was drinking and doing coke when she was on her sobriety lecture tour.  Yep, she was doing appearances and giving speeches touting the benefits of sobriety and getting paid for it.  Preaching a clean life as a means to fund your habit — not good.

The relapse started one day, just a few months after my GMA spot, when I got a random phone call from a friend who I used with and who occasionally sold me drugs. I invited her to my place. I was in an apartment at the time. I knew it was a really bad idea to invite her over but I wanted to test myself, I guess. We hung out, played cards. I told her I hadn’t done meth in a while. One thing led to another and just like that, I was back.

She also talked about giving a speech at a university just a few minutes after getting high:

I was living a complete lie. But unfortunately, guilt doesn’t make you stop. I talked about growing up on television and about how great my life was now that I was sober… The little bit of coke that I had done before the speech wasn’t enough to make me forget how bad I felt for doing what I was doing. The guilt was eating away at me. I was struggling to keep it together, but no one realized that. I finished. They applauded. Standing ovation. Just how I liked it. And it was over.

Sweetin admits she returned to her room tired but made time for one more hit. “I was just so tired. Tired of lying. Tired of pretending to be someone that I wasn’t. I took a deep breath and walked out of the lecture hall. I went back to my hotel room and buried my face in my hands. I couldn’t keep doing this. It had to end.But not today. I wiped away the tears and finished the baggie of coke.

Can we all just agree that addiction sucks?

  • She’s a flake. I’m tired of celebrities talking about sobriety and personal problems anyway. The only reason a lto of actors go into the acting business is because they’re too fucked-up to hold normal jobs.

  • Dude, I just wish she’d get high and suck my dick. Other than that, I don’t have an opinion one way or another about her addictive personality. She’s just another flake among millions. Who the fuck cares?

  • OK – she’s hot, and I am fully convinced that if she really was on all these drugs for so many years, there is inevitably a sex tape of her out there somewhere. Just wait, and then she’s gonna use it to fuel the fire of her addiction even more.

  • Useless trivia for four hundred, Alex…

    The Cameron-Bure family has a vineyard and makes wine. She fancies herself an oenophile.

    I know, right?!

  • This is nothing more than a dirt bag junkie with kids she isn’t nurturing or caring for properly. Addicts are bad parents. So this broke ass, lying, trailer living loser gets a book deal, 20 years after the show she was on was canceled. There is no God.

  • Where’s her tits!!?? She used to have a really nice rack! WTF!!! Is THAT what drug do to you??? WTF!!!!
