World snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's frank and honest account
of his astonishingly dramatic life.Running is my drug. To be
honest, drugs (and alcohol) used to be my drug, but now I've got
the healthiest addiction going.Running is what has helped me fight
my demons, win five world snooker championships, and cope with all
the crap life's thrown at me. They say what doesn't kill you makes
you stronger, and in this book I look at everything that hasn't
killed me, but has had a good go - my addictive personality,
depression, my dad's murder conviction, the painful break-up with
the mother of my children, the difficulty of balancing family life
with that of a sportsman. Those are the downers.But it's also about
the great things in my life - my kids, snooker, my dad's release
from prison, great mates who have helped me, and the psychiatrist
Dr Steve Peters who has taught me how not to run away from life
when it gets tricky.For the first time, I explain some of my madder
moments - why I walked out in the middle of a match against Stephen
Hendry, why I sat with a wet cloth over my face in a match against
Mark King.This is a book about what it takes to be a champion - the
sacrifices you have to make, the obsessive practice, the
selfishness. Finally, it's a book about what it's like to get the
buzz. and I hope anybody who's ever got the running buzz will
relate to this.
