Try to keep to yourself while saving money, ask for help from friends to get you out quicker, avoid confrontation with her and try not to trigger her, even if she says something you don't like, just ignore it with the comfort of "I am leaving soon"
There are places you can go for support, check in your phone directory, but if that is truly not an option just find help where you can towards getting out as quick as possible.
Have a support buddy who you can call when it gets really hard, or stay the night with if its violent, and make sure you record and incidences of violence in a diary kept at your support buddies house, just in case something really bad happens and you need to involve the police.
Keep safe and good luck.

your alcoholic mom will find you even if you hide in the house. you don't have to say anything for your mother to trip on you she will trip no matter what!
find someone to take care of the cat until you get a place of your own.
I feel for you my friend! denial is what keeps moms from getting the help she needs.

i know how it feels to see ur parents drunk... makes me wanna puke and i cant stand it--
what dont you try to get help from another family member. even if they`re not close by, they should be able to come up with something to help her.
