Workshop Overview

"What you don't know you don't know about addiction!"

"Often the hard thing and the right thing are the same thing."

Let me help you not only support your loved one, but take care of yourself while doing it!

Family healing is essential for sustainable recovery. This workshop provides families with a safe, supportive space to gain practical tools, insight, and confidence as they walk alongside their loved ones in recovery. Drawing on lived experience and proven behavioral strategies, we help families break the cycle of crisis, move beyond enabling, and build new patterns of self-care and connection.

 Over four decades ago, Victor Lee was lost to addiction, and his family was lost with him. Today, as a retired substance abuse therapist, scholar, author, coach, and founder of GBB Inspirational Recovery, Victor is living proof that transformation is possible—not just for those in recovery, but for the families who walk beside them.

The Family Empowerment Workshop goes beyond education: it gives families permission and practical tools to care for themselves. For too long, families have been told addiction is a “family disease,” but rarely offered real support for their own healing. Victor’s approach changes that—replacing blame and burnout with self-care, empowerment, and hope.

When families are supported, everyone can heal—and a new future becomes possible for all.

 

What Families Will Gain:

  • Understanding Addiction: Clear, stigma-free education about substance use disorder and its impact on families.
  • Healthy Boundaries: Guidance and practice in setting boundaries that protect everyone’s well-being.
  • Self-Care Strategies: Tools to prioritize your own healing and resilience—without guilt.
  • Communication Skills: Techniques for honest, supportive conversations that foster trust and growth.
  • Breaking Enabling Patterns: Support to recognize and change unhelpful habits and cycles.
  • Connect with others who understand—so you never have to face this journey alone.

Raise The Bar On Recovery-For Good

I learned firsthand that lasting recovery starts after treatment—when real life begins and commitment is truly tested. That’s why I created the 3-Day Precision Intensive: to ensure clients leave with more than just sobriety—they leave with the tools, self-mastery, and lived experience required for lifelong success.

"Victor Lee is a therapist’s therapist. His deep understanding of the intersection between shame, guilt, and resilience is profound. He has been a mentor to me and countless others in the field, always reminding us that our power lies in our ability to make a difference, not just in our clinical labels."
