"Here&amp;apos;s to a new chapter. Elizabeth Vargas, co-host of ABC&amp;apos;s 20/20, has returned home after a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse. The 51-year-old veteran journalist announced the good news via Twitter on Tuesday, Nov. 19.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Hello everyone! I am home, and so grateful for all your support and well wishes,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;I am so much better and taking it one day at a time.&amp;quot;\r\nVargas -- who&amp;apos;s worked on both the Today show and Good Morning America -- revealed her whereabouts on Nov. 6 when her absence from the news program became more noticeable to viewers.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Like so many people, I am dealing with addiction,&amp;quot; the anchor said in a statement at the time. &amp;quot;I realized I was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. And feel fortunate to have recognized it for the problem it was becoming. I am in treatment and am so thankful for the love and support of my family, friends and colleagues at ABC News. 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&amp;#x2019;m grateful.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider also gave his support. &amp;quot;We are proud of the steps Elizabeth has taken and are pulling for her recovery,&amp;quot; he said in a statement. &amp;quot;We look forward to having her back home at ABC News, where she has done so much distinguished work over the years. Elizabeth is a member of our family and we will support her in every way we can.&amp;quot;\r\nThe New Jersey native has been married to &amp;quot;Walking In Memphis&amp;quot; singer-songwriter Marc Cohn since  July 2002 and they have two children together, Zachary, 10, and Samuel, 7. She also is a stepmom to Cohn&amp;apos;s children Max and Emily, from his previous marriage to Jennifer George."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
