Jodie Sweetin Uses Twitter to Show us She’s Doing Well
You know her and love her as the very sassy, bossy know-it-all middle sister on the classic television comedy Full House. Jodie Sweetin isn’t Stephanie Tanner anymore, however. She’s all grown up, married three times and has two little girls of her own (and we do wonder if they’re anything like their mother’s former character). She hasn’t done much since her role as Steph in the hit television series that my 6-year-old daughter has recently discovered and loves to watch (this makes my heart happy) as far as her career is concerned, but that does not mean that she hasn’t been doing anything. She’s been very busy. Unfortunately, much of her life has been spent fighting issues that are so common for those who were once child stars. She suffered from addiction for many years after her hit television show ended, using drugs and alcohol as an escape from her feelings. She’s been sober for many years now, but it’s a daily struggle for the former actress. She’s been married and divorced three times, and her daughters do not share the same father. But despite the fact that she seems to have had more trials than triumphs, she’s working hard and making sure that her life doesn’t repeat old habits and patterns. And what’s even better is that Jodie Sweetin’s twitter page shows us just how far she’s come; filled with optimism and upbeat tweets.

It is the normal things in life that make it feel good and happy, isn’t it?
Thank you everyone for the birthday love! Spending the day with my family and those I love!! A great day so far and it's only just begun!

Birthdays have a way of making us realize just how much we’ve grown and how far we’ve come. We suspect Sweetin views her birthdays just a bit differently these days than she once did.
Can't believe my little Beatrix turned 3 yesterday! She's getting so big! 🙂

It’s true that the days are long but the years are oh-so-fast.
