I can honestly say that I wouldn't know how to live with it. But I don't think I can pinpoint one thing exactly besides me, what I had mentioned about just coming out into the real world.
Imagine being just five years old and already feeling the pull of addiction. That's where Hick Cheramie's journey begins. Prescribed liquid codeine for a medical procedure, young Hick threw a tantrum when the medicine ran out, craving the relief it brought. This early encounter with substances set the stage for a tumultuous relationship with addiction that would follow him into adulthood. Fast forward to a morning spent in his garage, vodka in hand, feeling the loneliest he had ever felt.
It was in this moment of despair that Hick finally admitted, 'I need help'. This pivotal realization led him to seek treatment and embrace a 12 Step program, marking the start of his transformation. Sobriety brought new routines and a sense of community that were crucial for Hick's recovery. He found solace in service work and structured daily habits, which helped him rebuild his life.
Interestingly, growing out his beard became a symbol of his self-care journey, opening doors to new chapters, including a foray into acting. Hick's story is a testament to the power of asking for help and the incredible changes that can follow. From early struggles with substance misuse to finding strength in community support and routine, Hick's journey offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and the lessons he's learned along the way.
