Addicted to Roxy: Wall Street Drug Dealer Busted at Ground Zero | $12K/Month Oxy Habit & Sobriety
Podcast: Rise Above with Kevin LanningPublished On: Mon Oct 20 2025
Description: 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. 0:00 Growing up next to death 13:00 Studying abroad & discovering ecstasy 15:00 Selling coke for 10 years 34:00 Arrested at the World Trade Center 48:00 Falling into opioids 1:00:00 Ibogaine in Mexico 1:15:00 Finding peace, love, and redemption 📩 Join the Rise Above Community: kevin@riseabovepod.com 🎧 Listen Everywhere: Rise Above Podcast #AddictionRecovery #Ibogaine #RiseAbovePodcast #Sobriety #DrugAddiction #WallStreet #CocaineAddiction #OpioidCrisis #RecoveryJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #BrooklynStories #KevinLanning #IbogaineTreatment #RedemptionStory #OvercomingAddiction Learn more about your ad choices.
