Back in 2013, Elizabeth Vargas announced that she had been to rehab due to her alcoholism. She has made a guest appearance on 'Good Morning America' and through the show, admitted that she was an alcoholic and was struggling to accept it.

The news anchor has shared how she had suffered panic attacks ever since she was young and used alcohol as a means for her to get over the stress, thus resulting to her present condition.

Despite her struggles and going through rehab last fall, the anchor is a well-achieved journalist who has a long-running contract with ABC. She has just recently renewed her contract with the network.
