I’m not sure there is anything you can do. This is increadibly heartbreaking of course, but your mom has to hit a bottom where she finally realizes that she can’t go onliving as an addict. All you can do in the meantime is not do anything to enable her to get by.

Was your mother an addict while you were a kid?

Have you ever done any counseling for yourself about this? Kids with addicted parents sometimes grow up with some issues. You might not be able to help your mother. But maybe you can deal with your own related issues if you have any. Anything in this article seem familiar to your own situation?

Anyhow, more to the point, I found a couple of forums for people who have parents who are addicts of one kind or another. It might help you to talk to others who share your situation:
