Los Angeles – ABC News anchor Elizabeth Vargas opened up about her battle with alcoholism in a recent interview. As reported by The Wrap, the anchor of “20/20” discussed her struggle with “Good Morning America” co-anchor George Stephanopoulos on Friday.

Vargas is quoted as telling Stephanopoulos, “I am. I am an alcoholic… It took me a long time to admit that to myself. It took me a long time to admit it to my family, but I am.”
