Welcome to Litsy!

🎧 I thought this was a book about how she overcame anxiety & panic attacks as she had these as a child ... apparently the answer was to self-medicate with copious amounts of alcohol, go through multiple rehab stays & relapses, make numerous mistakes, hurt the people she loved, lose jobs and finally get sober because she credits being sober to finally completely managing her anxiety. Good book just not what I thought it was going to be. ⭐️⭐️⭐️2/3

Was an alright book. Picked it up at a library book sale Too. Had some good quotes in it.

Moment of seriousness here: today was a really crappy day. Then I went to yoga class, and the first two songs the instructor played made me think of my biological mother. I'm adopted, and I've never met her, she died of an accidental drug overdose in 2009. I only discovered who she was this past January. The grief that comes with this situation is hard for many to understand, and it hits hard at random moments. Today was one of those days.

Candid,disturbing,engrossing.. I highly recommend the audio version for full impact of this memoir.

I have watched various shows on ABC for as long as I can remember and have enjoyed Elizabeth's reporting. I really enjoyed this audio book read by Elizabeth. She was honest and sincere in telling her journey of addiction. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. Great voice and good writing

Honest brave real at times sad .An open look at Elizabeth's anxiety alcohol addiction &the effect it had on her life her marriage& most importantly her children,

Candid and beautifully written, Between Breaths: A story of anxiety and addiction is excellent. Elizabeth is so brave for sharing her story.

Before she was in the national spotlight, Elizabeth Vargas was a local reporter and anchor here in Chicago. I saw her in action many times and always thought she was so confident and self-assured. You would never know that she that suffered from severe anxiety since childhood and ultimately alcoholism. As the adage goes, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

A truly fantastic event tonight at the Free Library of Philadelphia with Elizabeth Vargas and one of my favorite local anchors, Tamala Edwards.

Just watched this brave woman bare her soul on national tv. Very interested in reading her book when it comes out; I've lost two siblings to addiction and have a third who is clinging to sobriety, but watching this interview tonight gave me much better insight into the struggles of those who live with alcoholism and addiction.
