Addicted to Roxy: Wall Street Drug Dealer Busted at Ground Zero | $12K/Month Oxy Habit & Sobriety

Brian grew up in a strict Brooklyn home, surrounded by addiction, secrets, and death — living next door to a funeral home and watching grief daily. What started as a college experiment with ecstasy in Florence spiraled into a decade of cocaine dealing across New York City, gambling thousands he didn’t have, and a public arrest at the World Trade Center construction site.

After narrowly avoiding prison, he rebuilt his life — until opioids nearly killed him.
In this raw interview, Brian opens up about the double life he lived, his $12,000-a-month Oxy habit, and the psychedelic Ibogaine treatment in Mexico that saved him.

Watch as he shares how trauma, ego, and grief fueled his addiction — and what recovery really looks like when the spotlight fades.
