Abuse, Addiction, and Recovery on the Tropical Island of Guam

“A Blooming Flower”

Joey Tedpahogo has already lived many lives, all on the small US island of Guam. From abuse and meth addiction, to a crushing betrayal by his partner and a lengthy stint in prison, he’s emerged as a passionate and successful advocate for those in recovery. He’s also the head coach of the University of Guam’s championship volleyball team, has embraced his community, and become an inspiration for his family.

His story is a shining example of how addiction, abuse, and prison don’t have to be the end.

For Joey, “the future is very bright.”
