"Jodie Sweetin: unSweetin"

Jodie Sweetin played the middle child "Stephanie Tanner" on the hit series "Full House." I remember working on the DVDs of this show. And it is infectious to a point where the cholo Mexican who worked on other episodes would sing that fucking theme song in the hallways (yes, this was a professional business).

This tell-all about herself, isn't a poison pen book. She, also, doesn't seem to exhibit that much remorse for coked-out meth binges and alcohol (a result of having an addiction gene). Though, it feels the saddest part about her situation is that...the reality (such as my own) was the career can't sustain the lifestyle. To Jodie, there were a lot of unresolved demons. Which is always odd when you're a cute blonde who had a hit television series (Jenny Garth?).

You also get the sense that her cast mates though kind with what time they could give, never fully wanted to be involved in her downward spiral (which is when after OD is when they speak about why no one would help her. Like my friend Johnny).

At the end of this book, there is no happy ending. Well, there sort of is. She gets to recycle her life again in "Fuller House." A continuation of the show that gave her fame, fortune and fueled her addiction. For a person who admits to showing up to college campus tours hammered and high, you realize she can function under the radar. Or at expensive rehabs that don't work (celebrity rehabs seem to be about hiding addiction). Relapses in her world are just inevitable, because she can't be trusted. No addict should be. But there is always that feeling of trying. And I'm sure she's doing what she can to maintain the dull life of regularity than wild parties at The Roosevelt Hotel. Life isn't a brain exploding meth frenzy...it's a grind of responsibility. Whatever happened to that?
