Message from Tim Webber… a release date is set for July 2023. So much has happened since this started, between lost friends, the birth of a second son, and a pandemic! So, finally, here we are, Heroin:The Ripple Effect Documentary (if you cannot view the video below, click THIS link).   To all of you who have helped along the way on this, a big thank you! To all of you who came out tonight to help discuss the “Ripple Effect,” … Read More

Without you and Tim, Reclaiming My Life would not exist. Without you and Tim, I would not be where I am today. I will never forget you, Tim and Bob coming to me, asking me if I would be willing to open a sober home through my foundation. I thought to myself, what the heck is a sober home! But, sure 😂 From there, Reclaiming My Life was born, named after Robert Mason Lofink, my beautiful son. Together, we created … Read More

Please watch this video – it is a video that I re-shared on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02SBiQ8Cgvens9h4bHygf8GK85M62PZJMxypirgChGNS1mnvMvMstPBvYgUBCv5WTal&id=1181563344 I ask that anyone who watches this video to please be understanding to the sensitivity of the matter.

This … Read More

Kristi, you coming to the house, was not only meant be be, but has also helped to further my faith that Rob is present in all that I do. Thank you for helping me to have faith that I will see Rob again 🙏 Thank you for the beautiful Christmas gift. I love it!  

We had a wonderful night, surrounded by wonderful people. A few of us have lost our children to the disease of addiction, and others have dedicated their lives to helping those struggling with addiction. Thank you, Tom, for inviting us all to gather for dinner and great conversation.

This is an appreciation post for all the people bringing that energy and good karma and opportunity in my life currently. I was homeless this winter 3 years ago, and I was getting high to the point I didn’t even get to have a Christmas with my family the year after because I was in treatment. Had I not been in treatment I wouldn’t have been lucid enough to function anyways. Then last year I swore I’d go to treatment … Read More

Sylvia… This is beautiful! Thank you so much. I am so blessed. I love you! 💜

Our children brought us together, and for this, I am very thankful. Togetherness and complete unity help mend our broken hearts.

Nine years ago… The day that began a series of events that would change me and my life forever. I often think back to who I was before all of this. Sometimes, I wish that I could just go back to that person who really didn’t understand, that everything I knew to be true, could be gone in an instant. Most of the time, I am thankful that the old version of me is gone. I was lost, selfish, and … Read More
