Chamorro Musician Details His Recovery Through Song | “The Lightbulb”

Eric Borja is a local musician on Guam (a US territory in the South Pacific), known for his candid exploration of recovery in his lyrics. The stories of his addiction and subsequent recovery woven into his music serve as a thematic counterpoint to his laid back, reggae instrumentalism.

And in his day job, he works as a Case Manager at The Salvation Army’s Lighthouse Recovery Center on Guam, helping guide men through their process of recovery, as they fight to break free from the rapidly spreading problem of meth on the island.

In this video he tells the story of how he nearly lost his music - and his life - to the jaws of addiction, and how he fought tooth and nail to get it back.
