After the war ends, the real battle begins.

Fifteen Years Forward: A Journey Back to Peace is the powerful follow-up to Fifteen Years Late: A Soldier’s Guide to Surviving PTSD — now expanded into a 30-Day Reflective Journal designed to help readers move from survival to peace.

In this deeply personal and interactive work, author and veteran Scott Artal guides readers through daily reflections, prompts, and insights that rebuild the foundation of calm, purpose, and connection. Each day invites a quiet step forward — a chance to process the past, restore balance, and rediscover meaning beyond the uniform or the trauma.

This 30-day journey isn’t about forgetting what happened; it’s about learning how to live fully beyond it. For anyone ready to heal forward, this journal workbook is both a companion and a call to reclaim the life that trauma tried to take.
