On Thursday, March 24, actor Dave Coulier shared his struggles with alcoholism to his Instagram account along with a photo of the incident that made him quit drinking.
The caption of the post, which shows the former Full House actor with a bloody face, said, “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. 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.”
He then went on to describe what his life was like as a drinker over the years, and how while he would have a fun time having “beers with the boys,” it came at a price.
“No one loved having ‘beers with the boys’ after playing hockey or a round of golf more than me. I was always the “final final” guy in the room,” the comedian said. “The 8 hours of drinking, laughter and funny stupidity was followed by two days of feeling like a bowl of dog mess.”
“I loved booze, but it didn’t love me back. I decided to make a decision for my own well-being, my family and for those around me who I love so dearly.”
The decision was a hard one to make, but for the love and support of his family and friends, he wanted to make a change in his life.
“The mental and physical withdrawal were big challenges for me, but I was supported by @melissacoulier and friends who had already made the journey. The psychological and physical transformation has been amazing. The sky is more blue, my heart is no longer closed, and I enjoy making people laugh until they fall down more than ever before. Thank you, Melissa, for being by my side. I love you❤️”
Coulier’s loved ones were quick to reply to his heartfelt message.
His wife, Melissa Coulier, wrote, “SO proud of you. I love you and your strength so much!! ❤️❤️.”
Actress Candace Cameron Bure, who played D.J. Tanner in Full House, replied with, “Love you and always proud of you ❤️.”
Cool uncle John Stamos also lent Coulier his support with the message, “Proud of you brother!”
