Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sit-down Hick Cheramie. Hick is an actor known for recent roles in the Will Smith Apple TV film Emancipation and AMC's Mayfair Witches based on the writing of Anne Rice.

We discuss a variety of topics with Hick, including breaking generational addiction and trauma. How as a father he speaks openly with his children about the generations of addicts in their family lineage.

We also talk about the spiritual awakening that Hick has on before Christmas 2014, never looking back and remaining sober ever since.
