News anchor Elizabeth Vargas was checked out of rehab after receiving treatment for alcohol treatment.
ABC's 20/20 co-anchor took to Twitter to report that she is recovering and thank her fans for their support, saying, "I am so much better and taking it one day at a time."
Back on Nov. 6, Vargas confirmed her admission to rehab to People. "Like so many people, I am dealing with addiction. I realized I was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. And feel fortunate to have recognized it for the problem it was becoming," the 51-year-old said.
While she has checked out of rehab, Vargas continues to undergo treatment for her addiction. "I am in treatment and am so thankful for the love and support of my family, friends and colleagues at ABC News," she said. "Like so many others, I will deal with this challenge one day at a time. If coming forward today gives one other person the courage to seek help, I’m grateful.”
Vargas, who's resume also included anchoring for World News Tonight, is married to "Walking in Memphis" singer Marc Cohn, with whom she has two sons.
Hello everyone! I am home, and so grateful for all your support and well wishes. I am so much better and taking it one day at a time. 🙂
