Jodie Sweetin, best known as Stephanie Tanner on the sitcom Full House, got her start in show business at the age of four doing television commercials. She graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 1999 and after a two-year absence from television landed a repeating guest starring role on Party of Five and guest appearances on such shows as Brotherly Love and Yes, Dear. Sweetin admitted to a methamphetamine addiction and a problem with alcohol and following a reported intervention staged by former Full House costars checked herself into a rehab facility in March 2005. She has been clean and sober since. Sweetin will discuss how her life changed after the end of Full House and how she got sober after her battles with alcohol and drugs.
