Alongside a throwback photo of his bloody face from the incident, he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was a drunk. Yes. An alcoholic. I\u2019ve 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 \u2014 like chopping wood or doing construction, golfing, fishing or flying airplanes. I was hammered and fell, going up some stairs made of stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: Luann De Lesseps Apologizes After Drunken Performance Got Her Kicked Out Of Gay Bar<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the highs and lows of his addiction, Dave continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo one loved having \u2018beers with the boys\u2019 after playing hockey or a round of golf more than me. I was always the \u2018final final\u2019 guy in the room. The 8 hours of drinking, laughter and funny stupidity was followed by two days of feeling like a bowl of dog mess.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The <em>Full House<\/em> alum then noted that while he loved alcohol, \u201cit didn\u2019t love me back\u201d and soon realized that he needed to cut drinking out and get some help. With his wife <strong>Melissa Coulier <\/strong>by his side, Dave said he was eventually able to work towards sobriety and gain a new lease on life, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI 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. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Good for him!<\/p>\n<p>So many people battle alcoholism everyday, and no doubt Dave sharing his story will help someone else who is experiencing similar issues. The actor received an outpouring of love and support following his shocking announcement, including from his former co-star <strong>Candace Cameron Bure<\/strong> who commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLove you and always proud of you\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Josh Peck<\/strong> then expressed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMuch respect my friend, love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Bob Saget<\/strong>\u2018s wife <strong>Ke<\/strong><strong>lly Rizzo<\/strong> also wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLove you Dave.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And of course, his wife Melissa took to the comments section to gush over how \u201cproud\u201d she was of Dave:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSO proud of you.
