Dave Coulier’s got a “Full House” of support.

After the 62-year-old opened up about his struggles with alcohol via Instagram on Thursday, his former co-stars and friends showered him with support in the comments section.

“Proud of you brother!” John Stamos wrote, with Scott Weinger adding, “???❤️.”

Candace Cameron Bure also weighed in, writing, “Love you and always proud of you.”

Coulier replied, “Thank you, poopoo. Love you.”

And it wasn’t just co-stars who applauded Coulier for his accomplishments.

“Love you Dave ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” wrote Kelly Rizzo, the widow of his late co-star, Bob Saget.

Earlier in the day, the actor revealed in a lengthy Instagram caption that he has been sober for over two years.

The comedian shared a photo of his face covered in blood after falling “up some stairs made of stone” after a night of drinking.

“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,” Coulier wrote.

“I was a drunk. Yes. An alcoholic. I’ve been alcohol free since January 1, 2020,” Coulier captioned his post. “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,” he continued. “I was hammered and fell, going up some stairs made of stone.”

Coulier also thanked his wife, Melissa Coulier, for staying by his side through it all.

“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 shared.

“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.”

He added. “Thank you, Melissa, for being by my side. I love you❤️.”

His wife also expressed her support, commenting, “SO proud of you. I love you and your strength so much!! ❤️❤️”

“Proud is an understatement,” she added in a post shared to her Instagram Story.
