Hi Nikko, I am a new kid on the block. Not that new.. half a century old, actually.

You are doing a great job for your mom. Sorry to hear that she had a relapse.

If I might suggest something, as a person who's been there. Support you are giving is very important but think of ways to balance it with responsibility that your mom needs to take. Something of a wake up call --with a lots of support and motivation. It worked for me. Let's hope it will work for your mom.

In my case, when I "woke up" I found that I am biopolar. Alcoholism was part of the sickness. The good news is that I know who I am and hopefuly what to do.

Wishing you the best.
