RUNNING: THE HEALTHY OBSESSION AND A LOOK AT THE LIFE OF MISHKA SHUBALY
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/21/health/cnnheroes-exercise-addiction/index.html
Of course (as runners out there will already know), running can be obsessive!
But, a healthy obsession can in many situations can help save the lives of people drowned in a more unhealthy life obsession - drugs, alcohol, etc.
The article attached is about Mishka Shubaly - the best selling author who used running - a healthy obsession - in treating his sever dependence on alcohol.
Running, like for Mishka, changes lives EVERY DAY! It helps keep lives ON-TRACK as well.
This article is an interesting read which take s a look at a particular profiled individual to have taken the plunge in to a life with a "Healthy Obsession" for the good. Some people have "obsessive traits" and I personally think reaching out for a healthy obsession, for this demographic of people, is such and incredibly rewarding life choice - the best you can make.
