I’m really pissed off. I don’t deserve to be yelled at because I refuse to feed her addiction. Getting my stepdad on my side is really hard because he doesn’t like people angry at him… I feel horrible for him, but he needs to stand up and say, no, i’m not getting you alcohol…help?

QUICK DRUG REHABILITATION
Stay strong. It’s not easy being responsible when others around you are being irresponsible. Understand that your mom is going through a difficult thing and she does need your support, even though she doesn’t appreciate it right now.
Get her some help by putting her in a psych hospital or a detox center. They’ll give her some medication that will help her stop craving and if she’s detoxing, they’ll help her with that as well.
And good for you for standing up to them. No one should aid anyone in an addiction that can kill them.
your mother being alcoholic, try to get her to admit to having a problem and try to persuade her to get help, or get you step dad to talk to her if you cant.it will not work by refusing to get her drink.alcoholic is a sickness. good luck in working out with your mum.

I hate when that happens. My mother just came in to steal my booze because her alcoholic self finished her bottle early.
A piece of advice: There’s no arguing with an alcoholic.
Yes, you don’t deserved this at all. Yet, you’re doing the right thing. It’s too bad your stepdad is feeding her addiction instead of trying to help her get better. Your mother needs to go to AA. I know you can’t force her to go and that’s really sad if she’s not willing to go.
It’s not easy to have to deal with it alone. I hope you and your step father should go to Al-Anon to get some support in how to cope with your mother’s alcoholism.
Don’t let her hurt you. If she gets violent, it’s best that you call for help immediately. Your safety and her own safety is important as well. Often, she may not be able to make the proper decision and do so something regretful.
If you’re under the age of eighteen, call family to get you out of the house. There is no reason you have to suffer because of her addictions. She needs help, but the only person who can begin to do that for her, is herself. If you have no family, and it becomes (or is) a serious problem, call CPS.
If you are older, give her an ultimatum. Make her choose between you and her drug. If she won’t, you absolutely have to remove yourself from her life. It will hurt, but even if you don’t buy her alcohol, you are still part of the problem by allowing her to manipulate you emotionally. Maybe after you’re gone, and your step dad is the only one left to deal with her, he’ll leave too. Sometimes it takes rock bottom for a person to turn around. Good Luck!
Convince your mom to undergo treatment, talk to her if she’s in her normal mode or when shes not in the influence of alcohol. Tell her she needs treatments badly.
