Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction

Description

Beloved former ABC 20/20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas share the truth about her
alcohol addiction and anxiety disorder in this honest and emotional memoir.
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. 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. 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. 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. Honest and
hopeful, Between Breaths is an inspiring read. Winner of the Books for a
Better Life Award in the First Book category Instant New York Times and USA
