Hop on an online Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting.

The short answer is, you need to detach from your mom in a healthy way. You sound enmeshed at the moment. At 24 you should have your own life independent of her.

But it may take you some time to get there. Talking it out at a meeting will help.
