That is awesome! Kudos to both you and mom for the willingness to get help for yourselves. That's HUGE! A generation or so ago, I was exposed to Alateen when my mom was in treatment, but she refused to let me go back as she didn't want anyone "airing our dirty laundry". Alcoholism and addiction truly is a family disease, but back then there was much shame attached to it.

Even now, though, many teens themselves don't want to acknowledge a problem, or that it affects them. I'm so glad you have the support and willingness you need to get through this.

Hugs~
