ABC News’ Elizabeth Vargas, who’s talked openly and honestly about her struggle with alcohol in her book “Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction,” confided to book lovers at the East Hampton Library’s Authors’ Night on Saturday.
Vargas said, “I bared my soul so other successful and high-functioning people who face the same problems of anxiety and addiction as I did know they aren’t alone.”
The award-winning journalist and “20/20” anchor added, “If I can just help one or two people who silently suffer and go home and self-medicate to come out of the shadows and get help I will have succeeded.”
