In her new memoir, “Between Breaths,” Elizabeth Vargas talks candidly about her battle with alcohol addiction and her surprise divorce from Mark Cohn.
The 20/20 anchor explains that she had checked out of her third stint in rehab not knowing that her husband of twelve years had secretly begun divorce proceedings.
“It was brutally difficult,” she says of Cohn’s decision to leave her.
Today, Vargas is in recovery. She tries to maintain a positive relationship with Cohn, saying, “We both love our children and we will be in each other’s lives for the rest of our lives because of these two amazing boys and…we both focus on that.”
