Jodie Sweetin Details Getting "Blackout" Drunk at 14 While at Candace Cameron Bure's Wedding
Jodie Sweetin says her first drink at age 14 led to years of heavy partying and substance abuse before achieving 16 years of sobriety, citing ADHD and grief as factors.
- During a podcast, Jodie Sweetin said she first drank alcohol at 14 at Candace Cameron Bure’s wedding, recalling she was a blackout drinker that night.
- Servers at the reception allowed more wine to be poured while Janice Sweetin sat across the room, and Sweetin links early drinking to ADHD and upheaval after Full House ended.
- She recalled downing red wine and later finding the reception bathroom "very white," calling the night "awful and... embarrassing" with her mother horrified and remembering only the 'M' of "YMCA."
- The incident preceded years of escalating substance use and consequences as Sweetin sought treatment in her 20s, faced an emergency custody investigation tied to drinking, and is now 16 years sober from alcohol and 13 years sober from pills.
- Sweetin argues she would have struggled regardless of fame, though it aided treatment access; she credits sobriety after having daughters Zoie, 17, and Beatrix, 14, and calls her recovery a lesson in perseverance.
