Overview
- Sweetin told the Dory Jackson Interview podcast on July 15 that she and Stamos “really, really connected” over sobriety and that her last drink was in 2011.
- John Stamos has publicly said he entered rehab after a June 2015 DUI arrest and stopped drinking after completing treatment.
- Sweetin recalled that Stamos presented her with an Experience, Strength and Hope Awards honor in 2019 and said they have celebrated each other’s milestones.
- The new 2011 date conflicts with an earlier on-the-record statement in 2009 when Sweetin said she “got sober for good on December 7, 2008,” creating an unresolved discrepancy in her public timeline.
- Their public talk of 12-step work and mutual support underscores how celebrity disclosures can destigmatize addiction and point people to recovery resources such as 988 and SAMHSA.
