Lee was a nut. He seemed to look for ways to make the Christian life harder and more complicated than it is supposed to be.

With God all things are possible. With Lee even the possible becomes impossible.

...From that day on, I would confess this sin thoroughly before the Lord. Then I found out that there is no end to the daily confession of this sin.

Your post reminded me of some comments by Jesse Penn-Lewis in chapter 5 of War on the Saints:

COMPULSORY "CONFESSIONS" OF SIN
Here the evil spirits may push the man to "confessions" of all kinds, however public and painful, which he hopes may result in regaining the "experience" apparently lost; but all in vain. These confessions instigated by deceiving spirits may be recognized by their compulsory character. The man is forced to "confess" sin, and ofttimes sins which have no existence, but in the accusations of the enemy. As it does not dawn upon him that evil spirits will push a man to do what looks like the most meritorious thing, and which the Scriptures declare is the one condition for obtaining forgiveness, he yields to the drive upon him, simply to get relief. ...

TRUE CONFESSION OF SIN
True confession of sin should come from deep conviction and not compulsion, ...
... Evil spirits drive a man into sin, and then compel that man publicly to confess the sin which they forced him to commit...
