Sophia that was a good article. It's know for child star to get introduce to drugs just by socializing with their so-call friend. Her addiction to drugs affect her career as a child star. And it was a postive thing for her to get sober before bring a child into the world.
Tha fact that Ms. Sweetin first tried drugs in college is very typical. Her using them when her husband was controlling her life is an example of blunting, when a person takes drugs or alcohol so as to not care about the emotional strain that is happening in a relationship.
