10 times 'Fuller House' stars were real about mental illness and addiction

I don't think I've ever been so excited for a TV show as I am for "Fuller House," which premiered on Netflix today.

"Full House" was known for its countless life lessons, like you shouldn't put a goldfish in a bubble bath. And now, 21 years after the final episode ran, the gang is back (sans the Olsen twins).

But, in those two decades, the cast has gone through more problems than just dealing with a zit on their nose.

Actress Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) was addicted to crystal meth and alcohol, and Candace Cameron Bure (DJ) battled with bulimia.

Here are 10 times the "Tanner sisters" were real about their mental illness and addiction:

1. "I will have five years (of sobriety) in March. It’s given me a lot of gratitude," Jodie told People Magazine.

2. "For me, the first time that I drank, I knew that I couldn't drink normally. It was not something that I was ever capable of doing," Jodie said on the series Blazing Borders.

3. Cameron said, "Binging and purging felt like an automatic response to the emotions I was feeling. Somehow, it made me feel like I was able to regain control."

4. "I finally realized that food is going to be there tomorrow. It seems like the most obvious, easy reminder, but it really works. Remember it's OK to say no or push the plate away. I learned about proper portions and how to eat healthy on a daily basis," Cameron told Health Magazine,

5. Jodie said, "It gets very ugly in-between my ears. I meditate in the morning. ... I try to stay very focused on where I am and what I'm doing at that moment."

6. "(In 2008), I got a call that there was an emergency custody investigation because of my drinking. From that day forward, I threw myself into going to AA and avoided people who do blow off their coffee tables," Jodie told Us Magazine.

6.  "I had to learn throughout sobriety the difference between shame and guilt. Shame is 'I am a bad person.' And guilt is, 'I feel bad for something I've done,'" she said.

7. Cameron told People, "I turned to food for comfort and had to find a different source, because clearly it wasn't a healthy way to deal with things. ... So that's really when my faith was kicked up a notch and (I) sought comfort in my relationship with God, and not with food."

8. "(I realized) I'm beautiful inside and out. ... I had to find my value and worth in (God's) eyes and not everyone else's," Cameron said on HLNtv.

9. Jodie said on Blazing Borders, "It really helps to share it with other people. What I've found is that a lot of the shame and the guilt and the feelings I have, when I share it with somebody else, they say, 'Oh my god. I feel like that too.' And then we go, 'That's really silly. That's not who you are.'"

10. "These things happen. And it's possible to come back. It's possible to start over," she said.
