Between breaths : a memoir of panic and addiction / Elizabeth Vargas.
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. She discribes 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 relief. She tells of living in denial, about the extent of her addiction and keeping 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 had never found the right balance. Elizabeth Vargas is the co-host of 20/20, the news magazine program on ABC Television.
