'Full House' Star Dave Coulier Reflects On Alcoholism With Shocking Bloody Pictures

“Full House” actor Dave Coulier is reflecting on his past alcohol abuse.

On Thursday, March 24, the actor, who played Joey Gladstone on the hit ABC sitcom, posted a rather shocking photo to Instagram.

In the photo, Coulier’s face is bloody with what appear to be scrapes or scratches to his nose, under eye, and head.

He looks rough to say the least.

The picture was taken after a night of drinking.

He explained in the caption, “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.”

Coulier went on to say the fall wasn’t due to playing hockey or doing the things he loved such as chopping wood, construction, playing golf or flying airplanes.

The fall came as a result of getting drinking excessively and falling on his face.

“I was hammered and fell, going up some stairs made of stone. 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,” his message continued. “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 mental and physical withdrawal were big challenges for me, but I was supported by @melissacoulier and friends who had already made the journey.”

He gushed over how “amazing” the physical and psychological transformation has been.

“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❤️,” he concluded.

His “Fuller House” co-star, Candace Cameron Bure, was quick to jump in the comments with words of encouragement.

She wrote, “Love you and always proud of you ❤️.”

Maurice Lamarche, the voice of Brain of “Pinky & the Brain,” replied, “I ….. love …Sober Spartyyyy🎶 and if it’s quite alright, at my birthday paaaaarty, you didn’t have to get tight, so let’s applaud you, Sparty, let me applaud youuuuu…. 🎶

His wife Melissa commented, “SO proud of you. I love you and your strength so much!! ❤️❤️.”

Coulier isn’t the only ‘FH’ star to suffer from addiction. John Stamos, aka Uncle Jesse, battled substance abuse.

Back in 2021, the actor opened up about his journey to sobriety and what it has done for his life.

Stamos credits his sobriety for helping him become the father he is today.

He welcomed his first son on April 10, 2018.

The “Big Shot” host checked into rehab in 2015 for substance abuse.

The decision to check into rehab came a month after Stamos was arrested for an alleged DUI in Beverly Hills.

After the alleged DUI and arrest, Stamos took to Twitter to give fans an update on his condition writing, “Thanks to everyone for their love & support. I'm home & well. Very appreciative of the BHPD & Cedars for their care."

Stamos has been sober for almost six years and has a firm understanding of who he is today.

“I know who I am certainly by 57 now," he added. "It's been close to six years in June that I sobered up. I never could have been a father during some of the more—some of it was really fun and some of it got to be very unhealthy."

So, does he want more kids in the future? He and his wife were certainly trying; however, quarantine made them hit pause!
