Meth Addiction Led Jodie Sweetin of 'Full House' to Live 'Double Life'
Thursday, February 02, 2006
By Don Kaplan
The actress who played cute little Stephanie Tanner on the 1990s hit sitcom "Full House" confessed yesterday to battling an addiction to methamphetamine.
"I was leading a total double life," Jodie Sweetin, 24, said yesterday on "Good Morning America."
Sweetin's drug woes were recently chronicled by the supermarket tabloids after she was seen on a three-day meth bender followed by an intervention allegedly staged by her former "Full House" co-stars, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget.
Her drug problem also wrecked her three-year marriage to a Los Angeles cop, who she says was not aware of her dangerous habit.
"I was married to a police officer ? we are going through a divorce right now ? he had no idea," Sweetin says.
The former child star said she began experimenting with meth about two years ago because she was bored and unemployed. Before she knew it, she was addicted to the powerful central-nervous-system stimulant.
Last March, Sweetin checked into an intense, six-week rehab clinic and says she's been clean ever since. Now she's trying to get her career back on track.
"I want to make movies, TV series, wherever the career takes me," she says. "I really hope this isn't the last people hear of me. In fact, I would like to make this a footnote in my career, not the end."
When "Full House" ended in 1995, Sweetin went on to high school and later college, but had a hard time trying to become a normal kid, she says.
"There's a certain sense of loss when a series ends," she says. "It is kind of hard to figure out who you are when you've lost you're job when you're 13, when that was basically how you identified yourself."

I am so glad this work week is over. It wasn't a grueling work week by any means (except for Monday which was like hell) it was one of those draaaaaaaaaaaaaaging wooooooooooooooork weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks that just kept going and going and going and going and...
But yeah, my internet ways of unfailingly courteous, polite and thorough customer support have worked their charms on the wingnut freak jobs that inhabit the internet auction community. I field a lot of customer service emails, spending most of my day answering questions, looking up people's bids, sending out invoices and rerunning peoples' credit cards that are declined. I have this one guy, I think he's foreign, because a name like Sjlovensky Kilonovichsdljghsjd (or however it's spelled) indicates he is not of a western nationality - anyway, he wanted some information on his orders and the next thing I know he's saying, in multiple emails, "I single and lonely, I write you email so you talk to me, I love information you give me, what do you look like" and honestly, how should I respond to that in a way that won't compromise my job? Thankfully, I've turned those over to my boss who is a little bit more curt than I am, being a native New Yorker, so she knows how to deal with the wackos. There's another guy, he's an Italian who lives in Los Angeles and for a while there he was telling me about the lovely ladies of St. Tropez and how I must be so much more lovely than any he's encountered, and he is mesmerized by my beauty - which I find hilarious. It's not like I'm running a picture exchange/internet bride service here. X-D
Part of my job entails talking a lot on the telephone. Again, because I am Miss Customer Service and I try hard to earn my keep, the same courtesy I apply to my emails is extended on the phone. Now this is where it gets interesting. Some people I am already on a first name basis with because every other day I'm sending them emails telling them to pay up and call me. So they call me, and there I am on the phone listening to peoples' life stories that include a fascinating range of personal information that strangers on the other end of a phone line should know about.
But yesterday I get this call from one of our customers. He placed several bids and won over 20 items on our site and his credit card wouldn't go through. We sent him the email saying to call so we can secure payment. My line rings and I pick up the phone and I knew who it was because I've already spoken with him about 100 times before. He says he can't pay up and for me to relist the items, then he starts sobbing uncontrollably. I ask him if he's all right and he says, "I'll be all ri...ri...riiiiiiiight..." and he sounds like a mess. He then proceeds to tell me that his online internet addiction has finally cost him his marriage and his wife walked out on him the night before. I mean, I am a compassionate person and I really felt bad for this guy sobbing into my ear. But what do you say except "sorry" over and over and over again? Ugh. The guy could barely get a full sentence in edgewise because of his crying... kind of put a damper on my morning.
But I love my job, I am thankful to have it and I dig the people I work with. I'm just glad this week is over.
Sorry for the long rant... but I had to get it off my chest!

I still think you should post particularly entertaining/pitiful emails.
I can't send them from work because there's a record of everything coming in and going out via email. Some are rather... strange. I think there's just a lot of lonely people out there.
On the phone the last few weeks week I had: someone describe his house to me over the phone, another tell me about his 9 cats in great detail, someone accuse me of trying to rip them off (took about 10 minutes to talk them down) another woman who I've talked to before start telling me about her horrible ADD problems and needless to say that conversation went on for way too long because she was so distracted. And this week I had people call up freaking out because they couldn't place bids (the site was having tech difficulties) someone else call me "unfailingly courteous", another person say "you have a nicer voice so I'd rather deal with you" (which I find funny because I get a bit self conscious on the phone thinking I sound whiney)... It's not that bad and most people are cool, keeps things interesting. I suppose all this comes with the territory, and it's still loads better than what I put up with at the record store where I was Queen Freak Magnet.

Now... That's just freaky. I can smell this guy's desperation all the way from where I am currently sitting.
Are you waiting for us to ask you to share this picture? ;)
