Unfortunately,these tragic details of Stamos' lifehave contributed to Stamos’s battle with alcohol addiction.
Ahead of its release, he admitted toPeople, “I had to sober up.
I was just drinking too much.
I just went low.
I didn’t go high.
I just surrounded myself with people I shouldn’t have been with.”
Initially, he and his team said his slurring words during the interview resulted from being jet-lagged.
Two years later, he came clean toAdvocate.com, revealing that he was indeed drunk during the entire conversation.
Sadly, this instance was not the last time that Stamos would be seen intoxicated in public.
In June 2015, Stamos was arrested in Beverly Hills, California, for driving under the influence.
The following month, he admitted himself to a rehab facility.
This entire ordeal left the star embarrassed but ready to improve his ways.
“I had a horrific DUI, which I am so embarrassed by.
I could have hurt somebody.
It was really stupid and ignorant of me.
And I hated myself for that.
It was a bad, bad thing.
The drug was prescribed to him to help with his insomnia.
However, he quickly became hooked on it.
I couldn’t sleep for a couple of weeks.”
Thankfully, his trip to rehab also helped him detox from the powerful sleep aid.
Today, Stamos has been sober for several years.
Thankfully, his family support system is helping him cope instead of alcohol.
