Tzvi’s story doesn’t just check the boxes of addiction — it shatters them. The lying, the hustling, the chaos in Miami… the oxy pipeline in Israel… the wave-runner disaster… the 50-roxys-a-day habit… the shrooms + Norbit overdose spiral… and then the moment that finally broke him wide open.

Today he’s a husband, a father, and the owner/operator of multiple treatment centers — the rare kind that actually put people before profit. And he’s over 12 years sober.

In this raw conversation, we talk about:

* Growing up fatherless and using lying as a first drug

* Smoking heroin while convincing his wife it was “hash”

* Flushing 1,000 pills down a Hard Rock hotel toilet

* Detoxing on a rabbi’s floor

* The psychic change that rebuilt his entire life

* Why NYC is drowning in addiction with barely any real help

* How treatment (done right) can save lives in a way meetings alone can’t

If you’re struggling, if you’re lying to everyone around you, if the consequences don’t scare you anymore… this episode is your wake-up call.
