World snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's frank and honest account
of his astonishingly dramatic lifeRunning 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, and 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.
