David Pinsky aka Dr. Drew, who is best known as VH1’s reality show doctor in “Celebrity Rehab” and “Sober House”, apparently, has one secret and dirty cocaine abuse past that has been revealed by two former colleagues at LA radio station KROQ.

Dr. Drew hadn’t even finished medical school when her met DJ Jim Trenton, who worked for KROQ where Dr. Drew had his big break on the program “Loveline”, at a party. “I asked him to do this segment with me called Ask a Surgeon,” Trenton tells Life & Style. “Listeners could call in and get answers to their romance and medical questions.”

“Ask a Surgeon” was so popular that “Loveline” was born. After work Dr. Drew and Trenton would party hard and cocaine would be a one way of keeping themselves entertained. “He used to say to me, ‘Jim, I love cocaine,’” Trenton notes. “He’d say that a lot — that he loved coke.” In fact, Trenton adds, Drew “did coke with a lot of different people, including myself, on numerous occasions.”

Joanna Swylde, who worked as an intern at KROQ at the time, confirms Trenton’s story and says they even used to snort lines of cocaine off album covers in the control room at work. “We would do it during the breaks on the show.”

Despite their dirty past, Trenton believes Dr. Drew was not addicted and that he quickly got over it. “I would say by the mid to late ’80s, he had quit,” Trenton says. “We all stopped doing it.”
