Giveaway- Between Breaths - Elizabeth Vargas

'I've got an absolutely inspiring, honest memoir and giveaway for you today.

Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction by Elizabeth Vargas has just released.

From Grand Central Publishing:

"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. Elizabeth Vargas is the Co-anchor of 20/20 on ABC News. She resides in Manhattan with her two children."

    I'm always so grateful when people open up and share their struggles with different aspects of mental health/mental illness/addiction because it helps normalize the experience for all those who struggle with it.

    Wow, totally unaware of the pain she was going through. So sad. Glad that she's found a light at the end of her dark tunnel. Many thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
