Obsession
Obsession A brief forward before you read this.

I use writing as my example but it can apply to any hobby in life.

Bettin' Man
I woke up Saturday afternoon to the sound of my alarm blaring. I rolled over grabbing my phone my fingers fumbling trying to find the snooze button on it. Thankfully before I could I forced my eyes open long enough to see the words "Races in 5" scrolling across my phone. I finally found the snooze button managing to sit up on my bed all at the same time. Though with this came the quick and immediate punishment of my stomach flipping on itself as my hung over addled brain and body tried to make sense of the sudden change in perspective. After I managed to force my stomach back down to a regular position within my body I stood and stumbled my way over to the radio flicking it on as I grabbed my black betting book. As soon as I heard the sound coming from the radio and had book in hand I went and found my way back to the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed flipping towards the middle of my book trying to remember who I had even bet on for todays race. I had finally broken even with the bookie just last week so of course I had felt invincible and had taken my last $1000 out of the bank for the biggest bet of my life. There was a horse named Sea Bred who was running at 19-1 odds and if I could win today I would have 20,000 in winnings. That was more than enough money to start over my whole life and actually move forward for the first time in a long time. I had even made a deal with God that if I could win today I would stop drinking and betting.
