Please do seek help for yourself even if you think it will upset your mother. This is your life and you know that you need help in order to get back to school and get a good job. You do not need to give up your life in order to protect your mother.
I am so scared of her relapsing. I never want to have to deal with that ever again. I don't think she would survive another relapse. If she died because of her addiction it would destroy me.
