In 2009, actress and activist Jodie Sweetin released her memoir, unSweetined, which gave fans a personal look into her life as a former child star and someone passionate about her recovery following past struggles with addiction.

16 years after its original publication, the audiobook version of unSweetined is being released on August 19, 2025. Sweetin, who famously played Stephanie Tanner in Full House and its 2016 Netflix reboot Fuller House, narrated the audiobook, which features new content. In an exclusive clip shared to Parade from Simon & Schuster Audio, filmed while Sweetin recorded her audiobook, she shared details of a night of partying.

She then said the situation “was a typical night of partying.” “I met some people at a bar in Hermosa Beach that played house music on Sundays from 2 pm, until around 2 am. I was friendly with the bar’s owner so there’s always a table waiting for me. And half-priced bottles for me, such a good customer. From the second I walked in, it was on. Some friend gave me a hug, and put ecstasy right in my mouth. That’s how the night started. Simple as that,” continued Sweetin while recording the excerpt from unSweetined.

“I was tired of trying. Tired of controlling myself. Tired of caring. It was a Sunday night and my opinions were to sit home and get some rest for the big day I had on Monday or to go out and party and not worry about a thing. So when a friend called me and asked if I wanted to head to Hermosa Beach, I didn’t hesitate,” read Sweetin from her memoir. “Before I knew it, I was smoking meth and doing my hair and preparing for a big night. I drove off solo with my to-go cup filled with alcohol. I never went anywhere without my to-go cup.”
