Dave Coulier recently opened up about his struggle with alcohol via Instagram on March 24. He was supported by his Full House co-stars and friends in the comments section.
The actor revealed in an Instagram caption that he has been sober for around two years. He also shared a picture of his face covered in blood after falling on some stairs made of stone after a night of drinking. The caption read:
“I was a drunk. Yes. An alcoholic. I’ve been alcohol-free since January 1, 2020. When I drank, I was the life of the party. I could make people laugh until they fell down. In this picture, I was the one who fell down.”
He continued and said:
“Not because I was playing hockey or doing the things I love – like chopping wood or doing construction, golfing, fishing, or flying airplanes. I was hammered and fell, going up some stairs made of stone.”
Dave Coulier also thanked his wife, Melissa Coulier, for always staying by his side. He said that he chose to make a decision for his well-being, his family, and for those who love him. The actor added that mental and physical withdrawal was the biggest challenge for him, but he was supported by his wife and friends.
