I used to rely on drugs and alcohol to keep me going but now I've got the healthiest addiction
going - running. This book explains how running has helped me to fight my demons - my addictive
personality depression my dad's murder conviction the painful break-up with the mother of my
children - and allowed me to win five World Snooker Championships. It is also about all of 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 when
things get tough. Finally it's about what it's like to get the buzz - from running from
snooker from life. Because when it comes down to it everyone needs something to drive them
on.
