About The Author
Lee’s personal knowledge of the harsh nature of relapse dates back decades when he fell into a cycle of abusing substances such as
cannabis addiction,
opiates addiction and
alcohol addiction at the age of thirteen. However, he refused to give up, and in 2013, he attended
rehab and has been clean ever since.
Lee’s passion for helping others radiates through the patience and understanding he demonstrates when talking to new clients, either over the phone or through his writing. He doesn't underestimate the importance of having a human touch, and his friendly and sincere tone helps put those feeling vulnerable at ease.
"When approaching addiction recovery, don't think you need to stay sober forever to succeed; rather, approach it by learning how to stay sober and comfortable one day at a time." - Lee
