LeeВ hasn't watched TV in the last month or two, he said. I cannot tell you what it is like to be in the flow when you have found your lifeвЂ™s purpose.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s almost as if IвЂ™m living in a dream. вЂњThe answer to that is no,вЂќ he said.В вЂњThe adrenaline rush that I have gotten every single day this week, working side by side with recovering addicts who have a few weeks sober, to see them smile, to see them laugh, to see them dance to the music in my art therapy school - I have broken down crying several days this week.

In his statement, Lee credited art with helping him heal. 'I just didnвЂ™t know when that next chapter would be written.' 'IвЂ™ve always known in the back of my head that I would eventually want to write a new chapter in my life,' he said. That he would eventually leave news isn't a surprise, Lee told The Arizona Republic.

Lee has been open about his own abuse and addictions, which he detailed in his memoir, вЂњ Mascara Boy.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™ve created a program, Art Of Our Soul, that will help recovering addicts, sex trafficking victims, survivors of domestic violence & child abuse heal.вЂќ

вЂњI am taking a giant leap of faith and will now focus all of my time and energy helping survivors of trauma heal through art therapy,вЂќ Lee wroteВ in the posts.
