Why Victor Lee

Victor Lee is living proof that adversity can be the greatest fuel for transformation. From the depths of poverty, tough neighborhoods, and the pain of growing up without a father—compounded by the trauma of child abuse—Victor’s journey was forged in unimaginable hardship. At 17, he made a choice that spiraled into a decade-long battle with addiction, leading to homelessness by June 1985. But the story didn’t end there. Instead, it became the launching pad for a breathtaking comeback. Victor has emerged as an inspiring force: a retired SUD therapist, published author, an acclaimed professional speaker for over 25 years, a scholar, and a life/recovery coach to individuals and families ready to champion the healing of their loved ones. His story is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of resilience, compassion, and purposeful action.

 

Victor’s approach to SUD therapy is as revolutionary as his own transformation. He deeply believes that real change begins within—each of us must bravely face our own truths and take ownership of our journey. Victor’s mantra is simple but profound: nothing changes “out there” until it first changes in us. He acknowledges the daunting challenge—lasting recovery demands a lifetime of unwavering personal commitment. Yet, the miracle is possible, and you don’t have to walk this path alone. Victor knows from experience: shame and guilt are the invisible chains that keep us from reaching out and receiving the help we deserve. He is currently pouring his passion and wisdom into his latest book, “Making Sense Out of: Living the Miracle of Recovery.” If you or someone you love is ready to step into a new chapter of hope, healing, and lasting change, Victor invites you to connect. Together, let’s turn your story into a miracle.
