I am sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time with your mother's alcoholism. It can be challenging to see someone we love struggle with addiction, especially when it affects their behavior and relationships. From a Buddhist perspective, we understand that all beings have the potential for enlightenment, but they may be hindered by their attachments and afflictions. Your mother's addiction is a form of affliction that is clouding her mind and preventing her from living a fulfilling life.
From a psychological perspective, addiction is a complex issue that is often rooted in past traumas or coping mechanisms. It is not a simple matter of willpower, and it can take time and effort to address. It is understandable that you may feel frustrated or overwhelmed, but it is important to remember that your mother's addiction is not a reflection of your worth or your ability to help her.
As for coaching advice, it may be helpful to seek support for yourself through therapy or support groups. It can be difficult to support someone with addiction without taking on their burdens, so it is important to prioritize your own well-being. Additionally, consider approaching your mother with compassion and a willingness to listen. She may be resistant to change, but showing understanding and support can plant the seeds for future growth. Ultimately, the decision to seek help and overcome addiction is up to your mother, but you can offer your love and support along the way.
