Well, no one knows the future. Many people recover . I hope that the family is not enabling her, or that will delay her recovery. has she shown any desire to quit?

you are not stupid to love your mom. Never give up hope. would your family consider al-anon? could you talk to your mom, and ask her if she would like to get some help?
there is not much you can do, to make her want recovery. I dont know the story behind this post, but I am sorry for the pain this brings to you. I know how it is to watch your mother drink her life away.
hugs,
annette
