Brett Luongo: From Shadows to Strength in Overcoming Addiction
I think the biggest lie that I guess I told myself- and I think people in addiction tell themselves- is you're only hurting yourself, and that's the most fraudulent statement that there is.
Imagine knowing someone for years but never truly understanding their journey. That’s the backdrop for this episode of the Longa Life Podcast, where host Joe Longa sits down with Brett Luongo. Growing up in the same town, Joe and Brett were acquaintances, but it wasn’t until this heartfelt conversation that Joe learned the depths of Brett’s struggles and triumphs.

His transformation from addiction to a life of fulfillment and authenticity is both inspiring and relatable. Brett’s insights into building a strong support system, living in the moment, and staying true to oneself offer valuable lessons for all listeners.
