WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Woman honored for community work
Member Center:
JACKSON, MS (WLBT)- A woman who has spent 16 years helping others leave behind a life of addiction is honored.
Fifty seven year old Carolyn Howard has worked for the National Council On Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and Harbor Houses of Jackson since 1993. Howard also reaches out to teens in Madison County and inspires with her personal story of addiction and recovery. She is now battling lung and brain cancer, but that has not stopped Howard from the doing the work she loves.
"I have to go back to that foundation of saying I can't. There is an individual that can and that's God however I see him if I get out of the way all will be well," Howard said.
A dinner party and ceremony was held for her at the Central Alcoholics Anonymous Auditorium in downtown Jackson.
