I would say, you are worthy. Sometimes it's a cruel world, isn't it? But now we found recovery, we can pass that message on.
What happens when the pressures of fitting in collide with the lure of addiction? In this episode of 'Let's Recover Together', Luca opens up about his turbulent journey from a bullied child to a man grappling with addiction. Growing up, Luca struggled to find his place in the world, feeling the sting of bullying and the confusion of not fitting in. As a teenager, he found solace in the skater community, but that also introduced him to alcohol and drugs.
His reliance on substances spiraled into addiction, and by his twenties, he was also battling food issues and binge eating, all while dealing with OCD. Life took an unexpected turn when Luca became a father to a beautiful daughter. This life-changing event became the catalyst for his recovery. Through the support of The Living Room and his determination to change, Luca embarked on a journey towards sobriety and healing.
Tune in to hear Luca's heartfelt story, underscored by a soulful soundtrack featuring artists like Patrick Watson, Radiohead, and Elton John. This episode is a raw and honest look at how vulnerability and self-acceptance can pave the way for recovery.
