Recently I found out that my friend of 36 years, Tim, was sexually assault three times while he was in his twenties.  His story is an amazing one which is filled with pain, alcohol abuse and isolation which led to hurting those around him and Post-Traumatic Winning is a part of the story of how he found a path to greater life.

He’s on a different path now… the path of Post-Traumatic Winning.
