Honest and hopeful, Between Breaths is an inspiring read. She addresses her time in rehab, her first year of sobriety, and the guilt she felt as a working mother who could never find the right balance between a career and parenting. The now-A&E Network reporter reveals how she found herself living in denial about the extent of her addiction, and how she kept her dependency a secret for so long.

Now, in Between Breaths, Vargas discusses her accounts of growing up with anxiety-which began suddenly at the age of six when her father served in Vietnam-and how she dealt with this anxiety as she came of age, eventually turning to alcohol for a release from her painful reality.

From the moment she uttered the brave and honest words, I am an alcoholic, to interviewer George Stephanopoulos, Elizabeth Vargas began writing her story, as her experiences were still raw. Beloved former ABC 20/20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas reveals her alcohol addiction and anxiety disorder in a shockingly honest and emotional memoir.
