I’m sorry you are going through this, but unfortunately there’s really nothing you can do for your mother. Let her know you are concerned and if she wants help you will do whatever you can, but you really need to take care of yourself and not let her addiction impact you negatively anymore.
Take your sister to some al-anon meetings or al-ateen where you can find a support group for other family members dealing with addiction.
