"&amp;quot;Life isn&amp;apos;t like a Full House episode,&amp;quot; writes Jodie Sweetin in her explosive memoir unSweetined (out November 3). She should know. In 1995, after an eight-year run as Stephanie Tanner on the ABC hit, she spiraled into a cycle of drug abuse, including ecstasy and crystal meth. And despite having daughter Zoie in 2008 and proclaiming to People and Good Morning America that she was sober, the two-time divorcee continued to snort cocaine -- and, one reckless night, drove drunk with her baby. Now 27 and clean, Sweetin discusses the book&amp;apos;s bombshells with Usmagazine.com.\r\nNo. 1: Sweetin got so drunk at costar Candace Cameron&amp;apos;s wedding in 1996, she vomited and had to be carried out.\r\n&amp;quot;I probably had two bottles of wine, and I was only 14. That first drink gave me the self confidence I had been searching for my whole life. But that set the pattern of the kind of drinking that I would do.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNo. 2: Sweetin graduated to ecstasy in high school and cocaine in college.\r\n&amp;quot;I wanted to prove that I could get more trashed than anyone. There were times I did so much coke, I&amp;apos;d be there laying there,  getting sick and thinking &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m going to die.&amp;apos; But I didn&amp;apos;t care.&amp;quot;\r\nNo. 3: During the premiere for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen&amp;apos;s 2004 movie New York Minute, she walked the red carpet &amp;quot;high as a kite&amp;quot; and snorted meth in a bathroom stall.\r\n&amp;quot;I was pulling off the deceit. It was hard for people to believe I was doing that much drugs. I look at photos from that event, and I didn&amp;apos;t even look strung out!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNo. 4: When she was 9 months old, Sweetin was adopted. She later learned her biological mom also abused drugs and her dad was killed in a prison riot.\r\n&amp;quot;I would hear stories about my mom leaving me to go off and party. And for years I was like, &amp;apos;F*** her. How could somebody do that to their kid?&amp;apos; When I started seeing my own addiction getting in the way of being a mom, I finally understood: If you&amp;apos;re not in the right place to get sober, you&amp;apos;re not ready to be a mom.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNo. 5: Though she bragged about her sobriety to Good Morning America and People in June 2008, she was secretly still getting high.\r\n&amp;quot;I was selfish, self-serving, insecure, angry and fearful person living a double life. I covered up my problems by pretending to be happy and saying that everything was fine.&amp;quot;\r\nSee today&amp;apos;s top star photos\r\nNo. 6: She drove drunk with her baby daughter.\r\n&amp;quot;That was the big rock bottom. I had two glasses of wine and drove with her in the car. I not only put myself in danger, but also my daughter, who I loved more than anything. I felt terrible.&amp;quot;\r\nNo. 7: She&amp;apos;s still battling with second husband Cody Herpin for shared custody of Zoie.\r\n&amp;quot;I got sober for good on December 7, 2008. I was flying to L.A. and I ended up taking a bunch of Nyquil and drinking a s---load. When I got home, I got a call that there was an emergency custody investigation because of my drinking. From that day forward, I threw myself into going to AA and avoided people who do blow off their coffee tables. We&amp;apos;re working on a custody agreement right now. But life is good. I&amp;apos;m happier than I can remember.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
