Jodie Sweetin "unSweetined" Tell-All Reveals "High" Life After "Full House"

Jodie Sweetin used to get high. Jodie Sweetin, former child star, claimed to have kicked a drug habit and began giving speeches around the country about her battle with addiction and her sobriety. A new tell-all book by the former "Full House" child star, entitled unSweetined, reveals that she was high when she was giving speeches to young people about being clean from getting high. In fact, Jodie Sweetin reveals in her autobiography that she was high on cocaine, meth, and extacy while giving those speeches and, if anyone was the wiser, they never said a word, wanting to hear her story.

Jodie Sweetin reveals in unSweetined that she kicked a long-time addiction but relapsed and, even though she had signed on as a speaker for the Just Say No anti-drug campaign, continued to give speeches in order to make money to support a $700 per week drug habit.

In an excerpt from unSweetined available at Amazon.com, Jodie Sweetin says she "did a few key bumps" before going onstage before a sold-out college crowd. "I thought for sure that one of the professors would take one look at me and kick me out. But none did. They wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Jodie Sweetin, or at least the Jodie Sweetin I had created."

Amazon bills unSweetined as a "facing your demons" autobiography, a revealing account of a young girl who grew up on camera, then alienated everyone in her life, from her family to her "Full House" co-stars, as she took the road to addiction. It took motherhood for Jodie Sweetin to come to grips with her identity crisis that she carried from the double life an of normal kid/Hollywood star to the post-star addict/clean-and-sober construct.

Jodie Sweetin is just the latest child star to release a tell-all. Mackenzie Phillips, who starred as Julie Cooper on the hit CBS sitcom "One Day At A Time" shocked the world with revelations of incest and heroine addiction in her tell-all, High On Arrival, last month. Marsha Brady of "The Brady Bunch," actress Maureen McCormick, re-found fame in October 2008 with her tell-all of degenerative sex and drug addiction in Surviving Marsha Brady and Finding My True Voice.

Jodie Sweetin, now 27, was the child star that played DJ's younger sister, Stephanie Tanner, on the hit ABC sticom "Full House," which starred John Stamos, Bob Saget, Dave Coullier, and then toddler twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The show ran for eight seasons and made household names out of the entire cast.
