Jodie Sweetin: From "Full House" To Meth Addict To Mom

People:

Former Full House star Jodie Sweetin has a new role that comes with a full heart: mother to seven-week-old daughter Zoie.

"You look at your baby and think, 'Wow, I did that.' It's really amazing," Sweetin, 26, tells PEOPLE in its new cover story, on sale Friday.

As Zoie happily snoozes on the shoulder of her dad, Sweetin's husband of 10 months Cody Herpin, the marveling mother says, "I'm still like, 'Oh, wow, I'm a mom.' It's the most overwhelming, exciting thing I've ever done."

And a far cry from where she's been.

Best known for playing spunky middle child Stephanie on Full House from age 5 to 13, Sweetin then landed a real-life role that cast her against type: battling an addiction to crystal meth.

Well I wish her the best of luck - that's awfully quick recovery, for an addiction that typically takes a couple of relapses before the person really gives it up for good. She must have a great support system in her friends, family and new husband.

I like the juxtaposition of the words METH ADDICT and her baby. Makes you think.
