Books Descriptions
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, to her
eventually turning to alcohol for relief. She tells of how she found herself
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. Honest and hopeful, BETWEEN BREATHS
is an inspiring read.
