Between Breaths by Elizabeth Vargas Book Summary

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 Today Bestseller

Honest and helpful. Thank you for your courage in writing this. Very helpful to understand the depth of this disease.

INSPIRING. Sometimes telling your own story is the hardest. Good Job and best of luck. Great read!

Vividly honest & a lifesaver. Elizabeth writes beautifully about her journey to sobriety and the struggles so many of us all have. I'm thankful to have read it and have been inspired by it. It may have just been the book, that too, saves my life. Thank you Elizabeth for your bravery, courage and strength.

Breathtaking...... Spectacular story. I'm no longer drinking because of it.

Excellent read!. I love non fiction and this has surpassed my expectations. It is raw, full of exceptional stories, and humbling.

Thank you for your courage to share. An amazing raw and honest memoir of a journey and it’s struggles so many of us know well. As a recovering alcoholic I could relate as I hung on to every word written. Thank you for your courage to share some of your most darkest hours and also the beauty that awaits us as we continue the climb to the top of that mountain.

Amazing. This could change the life of a functioning addict.

Compelling Read. Loved Elizabeth’s authenticity throughout her inspiring and courageous story. I especially appreciated the details of the many high profile events and situations she covered as an exceptional reporter.

Excellent!!. Thank you for such an honest and eye opening read! Well done!!

Between Breaths. Elizabeth's journey to sobriety was heartfelt. She was painfully honest with her story. This is an excellent memoir; her struggle to combat this disease is admirable. To have such a high profile and know the world will share her story only proves how strong she really is....truly a great read.

Thought provoking. I read this book with the intention of trying to understand alcoholism. A family member is struggling and I would like to help. Elizabeth's narrative has been helpful. Her heartfelt accounts really showed her strengths and weaknesses and at the same time offered hope that people can overcome the disease. Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing so much. I wish you well.

Thankful for this book. I love this book, it hit home with me. Thank you Elizabeth for writing this book.. I know you have helped people with your honesty about being a addict.. one day at a time... I’m 19 yrs sober

Honest. Thanks for opening up and telling us about your courageous fight!! The best of luck in your future!!

Thanks Beth!. Courageous

I haven't even read it!!. I have just watched the 12 minute interview on tv and can immediately relate. My husband was the love of my life and he died after 13 years of marriage at age 46. So now at 41 I'm a widow and drinking is my only way of even coming close to dealing with this. I go to work everyday. I love my job. But I can't deal after that And I hate drinking too much. I'm over it but don't know how to fix it.

Incredible!. What a captivating story. Thanks, Elizabeth, for your vulnerability. Well written and I truly struggled to put the book down but looked forward to picking t back up again!

Grateful. Thank you, Elizabeth Vargas, for sharing your story. I’m sure you have heard thanks from many alcoholics in recovery. I want you to know that I am thanking you as the wife of a recovering husband. Your story has helped me understand more about his struggles than any other book I have read on the subject (and, believe me, I have read so many trying to better understand his disease). I wish you good health and happiness always.

So courageous. I read this book in four hours, it was painful to read because I too have a problem with drinking!!! Thank you for sharing your story.

Between Breaths. What a gift for everyone who has been affected by addiction. That's pretty much all of us. Uplifting, candid story 😇

A great visual!. I have been sober 14 years and some change. Three weeks after reaching my 13 year of sobriety, my son Landon died of a heroine overdose; November 21st 2017, He was 20. The disease of alcoholism tells us that drinking is the answers to all of our problems, conversely , our program tells us that acceptance is the answer to all of our problems. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Today, and only today, some times minute by minute, I remember that I have a choice about how to cope. Our family agreed to grant an AP journalist to write an in-depth story about our experience — the good, the bad and the ugly. It was released on January 29th 2019 and like you, I had middle of the night anxiety and panic about how it would be received and perceived . If one parent found out they were not alone it was worth the effort. We have been surrounded by love and support. However, there are so many layers to this story that have yet to be addressed. We are in the infancy of this epidemic, and the more people tell the story of addiction, the closer we are to accepting and taking responsibility as a society. Thank you Elizabeth, for your candor. I’m proof that the program works, my son is proof that addiction will kill. Wishing you the best, Mollie W, La Quinta, CA

Could not put it down. Congratulations to you Elizabeth. What a transparent, beautiful book. I was so drawn in learning about your life and your addiction. I'm so sorry you had to go through it all. You seem so wonderful and genuine. Good luck to you and your renewed life.

Acceptance is the Answer. Thank you. Your story is similar to my own and millions of others. I got sober in July of 2014. I had tried about 6 months earlier but was still in denial. I saw you interview and it made it easier for me to accept my alcoholism. As Paul says “Until I could accept my alcoholism I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy”.

An Open Book on Addiction. This book has helped me understand my issues. Thank you! Elizabeth I can relate to your life. Being a business owner and a woman, mom of 3, and footing all the bills while married is a lot to manage. Watching your husbands income go to his ex-wife because you can pay the bills is even more stressful! I know the feeling!

What's your real story?. Yes, thank you Elizabeth. That was a grand show of your career, our media, (we were there too btw) and your oh so slight "slips". What do you know? What do you not know? You're introduction is almost embarrassing; a cop out to defend just this kind of criticism. I suspect you know something more that is not here. You're career and ego is more grand for for mystery, I suppose. Could be a good story. Except there is none. Maybe written for your fans or....your family, your boys? Nothing wrong with the validity of this story line, if there was one. Be it addiction, career, anything really. No story here, not really.
