It’s so amazing!

He truly is an inspiration.

"People rise out of the ashes, because they are invested in the possibility of triumph over seemingly impossible odds." ~Robert

Oh that quote is so nice and so true.

**Always & Forever** · 09-09-2019, 04:47 PM

Perfect for a thread title!

I was thinking about Jodie Sweetin and how she’s kinda similar to Robert, having had a drug addiction and completely turning her life around.

meraki · 09-10-2019, 07:36 AM

Yeah, that would be a good title.

Not sure who that is, Jessica.

**sweet creature** · 09-10-2019, 02:14 PM

I don't know either.

Jodie Sweetin who played Steph in Full House.. Even tho I felt that Robert was the worst since his past was blast through the news, magazines, etc, etc since Jodie was more in quietly, but not too well-known that compare to other child stars..

Thanks for the info, Steph.

**Always & Forever** · 09-11-2019, 06:33 PM

Yeah, Jodie Sweetin plays Stephanie on Full/er House and like Steph said, she got hooked on drugs (acid mostly, I believe) and has been through 3 marriages because of it. She would get better, then relapse for several years. Over the last few years, though, she’s been clean, mostly because of her daughters, and she’s done several Hallmark Channel movies, which is the epitome of cleanliness and redemption.

Anyway, while both different people, actors, and circumstances, their situations are kinda similar.

**fly me to the moon** · 09-12-2019, 06:08 AM

Yeah, I agree since both are very different people in different environment who one that don't end up on the news while others daily and wondering if they going to make it or not..

meraki · 09-12-2019, 11:38 AM

Me too. I'm so glad he did!

Thanks for info, Steph and Jessica. I had no idea but I'm glad she turned around too.

I just love him.

Even though he had a cameo at Tony's funeral, I always hoped they would bring that boy from IM3 back. If Spiderman is really out of the MCU SMH, then he should be the one to continue his legacy IMO. Or even if hell freezes over and Spiderman is put back in, they should still bring him back.
