The Guy with The Beard with Hick Cheramie
Hick believes his addiction started at 5 years old when he was prescribed liquid codeine for a routine medical procedure.
When the medicine ran out, he threw a tantrum until his mother called the doctor to get more.
Even at such a young age, Hick recognized the relief and comfort that substances provided.
A few years later he would have his first drink and things would only progress from that moment on.
One morning, as he sat drinking vodka in his garage, Hick had what he describes as the loneliest moment in his entire life.
The pain was so great that he finally said the three words that he had avoided for years, "I need help."
After going to treatment Hick got involved in a 12 Step program and his life and mindset started to completely change.
"We have the choice every morning to play the victim or be our own hero, and today I choose to be my own hero."
Early on in sobriety, Hick decided to grow his beard out as a form of self-care.
Little did he know that his beard would open the door to the next chapter in his life, acting.
Today Hick is over 6 years sober and has appeared in several major films and TV shows.
He continues to share openly about his recovery and give back what was so freely given to him.
