Say it ain't so
Where was Candace Cameron to bail out her little sis on THIS one? Sounds like a very special episode to me!
As Stephanie Tanner on the 1990s hit sitcom "Full House," child actress Jodie Sweetin portrayed a young, innocent girl who lived in a happy, healthy supportive home.
"Growing up when I was on the series, I never really watched, even from this day, it's surreal to watch myself on television," said Sweetin. "Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast — you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks."
When the show ended in 1995, she said she wanted to be a normal kid. She went to high school and college and by age 20 was married to a Los Angeles police officer — TV older sister Candice Cameron was in the wedding party.
But two years ago, she found herself dangerously addicted to one of the most debilitating drugs, methamphetamine. She said she was unemployed and bored and began simply by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday.

And then she fell in love with Todd Bridges. She couldn't decide which--Todd or meth--was more debilitating.

Holy crap! I saw her on a 90s TV show thingie on E! yesterday afternoon, and they said nothing about the meth. But she was so cute! :(

Honey, remember that time I was addicted to meth?

Christy, that was pretty funny when you were addicted to meth. I still remember rehab. I didn't know it was possible to puke that much!
Pete: If I'm not mistaken, Todd Bridges is a "Schedule 3" controlled substance, and meth is a "Schedule 2" controlled substance. So take from that what you will.
Candi: I agree, Jodie Sweetin was pretty cute. I think I liked her more than Candice Cameron, and the Olsen Twins never did much for me. 'Tis a shame indeed.
