Hey there trinity,

I dunno what it's like where you guys live, but over here there is a wonderful support system called "Alcoholics Anonymous". All she has to do is look 'em up in the phone book.

And for _you_ there is another support system called al-anon, they have been wonderful to me. Have you checked them out yet in your area?

Another question that comes to mind is who diagnosed your Mom's breast cancer? I assume a recent doctor visit? If so, then it would be very important for this doctor to be aware of your Mom's drinking habits as they might have a serious effect on her health. Is there any chance you could meet with her doctor?

Mike
