Say it ain't so!!! Little Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) a meth addict??
:wow:

and all while she was married to a cop! I have to admit, it was hard to look at her and believe that...she looks exactly the same.

The earth has shifted...

They were horrific when she was 16-17 in the last season of the show.

12. Hi! I'm good!
Thanks! And you?

There was a sitcom on in the 80-90's called full house. The super wholesome show. One of the actresses who plaid one of the daughters, and was the type of person you would figure (see what we know?) would have her head on straight, just confessed to being a meth addict. Crazy. :hug:

14. Just goes to show you drugs ain't got NO name, class or race on them.
You would think, after Candace Cameron, she'd be the LEAST susceptible to something as serious as meth.

7. BTW, here's the link

The one all the way to the left

THey said the Olsen twins were part of the intervention. So when is the Full House cast going to intervene for these Olsen twins who are hanging out with that hard partying group that include the Hiltons, Lindsay Lohan and a bunch of other hanger-ons?

45. Supermoms constitute a large portion of meth users
The start taking it so that they can continue to keep up with all the balls they're juggling, then find that it helps them lose that post-baby weight, and before they know it, they're addicted.

"bored" so she tried it. It is really sad.

33. Yeah, I have an aunt using as well.
The housewife-addict is an under reported phenomenon in the US, and it's a bit more common than most realize. The wife stays home all day, gets bored, and starts experimenting with things as a way to add a little interest to her life. Some women shop, some women have affairs, some women try community service, and increasingly, some women play around with drugs. Since most below-40 housewives today probably at least experimented with drugs when they were younger, there's really no taboo against it anymore.

My aunt got hooked when she started hanging out with one of her old high school friends (also a housewife), and they decided to relive their youth and smoke some pot. Their dealer talked them into trying some meth one day, and they both got hooked. She was supposed to have been clean for the past six months, but we just found out that she's still been using now and then. The drug is addictive as hell and is a pain to quit once you've started.

28. It ain't so.
:shrug:

Well, you told me to say it!


Poor kid, meth is some bad shit, it takes hold and doesn't let go. It screws with the part of your brain that perceives pleasure, where the meth is the only thing that gives you pleasure.

Got to say prayers for her, this is some bad stuff.

32. And it destroys...I have a friend that went from being gorgeous
to looking like a bag lady in a little short of a year. It is probably the worst drug in the world because of it being relatively inexpensive and quickly addictive.

39. Yes, that's right she was the middle one
I forgot to tape my soaps yesterday and had a choice between the idiot-in-chief or Full House so I chose FH.

Child stars have a hard time as adults. I hope she stays clean and doesn't end up like Dana Plato.

Just busy, busy, busy here in radioland and waiting for the dang Superbowl to be OVER so we have some local news again.

Although, I read that my pal, Mo Rocca, has been sent by the Tonight Show to report. My one celebrity claim to fame; I have his cell phone number. :pals:

46. I have a cousin who's a meth addict.
She had promise but blew it. Now she's unemployed(can't pass a drug test and was fired from her longtime job because of a rage while coming down),is unkempt and just picks at her skin all the time. And her nostrils are starting to cave in.

47. more addiction and recovery chic
i don't doubt this former child star went on a 3 day bender but to use it to get attention and get back into show biz is a little suspect

let her get a real job and prove she can hold a real job if she's really at risk for addiction

don't get back in the studio where drugs are easily available and not having to work regular hours gives you too much time on yr hands to pursue an addiction

Until I read the link. I can't believe that! That's terrible. Little Stephanie a meth addict. God, that's sad. And she's getting divorced. Wow. I thought marriage was for better or for worse. Apparently her husband didn't get the memo.
