41 " I simply didn’t know what I wanted. One day I would want to be in a movie and the next day I would want to go to my 4th-and 5th-period classes and have Spanish homework. I had always had the distraction of "Full House" to keep my mind busy, but with that gone, I was completely confused and at a loss for what I was going to do next, where I was going to be, and more important, who I was.

42 " There were rumors about me even before I got to the high school. People said I was a brat and that I thought I was better than everybody. What they didn’t know was that I would have gladly traded places with any of them. "
43 " With my low self-esteem and confusion over who I really was, I put on a pretty dress and hauled my then 14-year-old, unemployed ass to Woodland Hills Country Club in the Valley for Candace Cameron’s wedding, a reunion of sorts with all that was once comfortable and familiar. "
44 " I had sipped some champagne at Full House wrap parties before, but this glass of wine was my first real drink. I downed the whole glass. I felt a rush of energy course through my body. I instantly felt like a new person. That first drink gave me the self-confidence I had been searching for all this time. That first drink, that was it: the key to everything I was missing in life. "
45 " At that wedding, with the alcohol, I wasn’t a kid in high school who struggled to fit in. I wasn’t Stephanie Tanner. I wasn’t the actor who played Stephanie Tanner. I was Jodie Sweetin and I was an alcoholic. "
46 " No matter what I did then, it wasn’t good enough for other people. No matter how hard I campaigned for friends, it didn’t work. If I talked to everyone in the class, people said I talked too much. If I sat in the back of the class and didn’t talk to anyone, people said I had a bad attitude. I couldn’t win. "
