So sorry to hear of your problem. Entering can be very addictive. Tell your mom how you feel, talk calmly, don't turn it into a scream match. Let her know how much you love her and that you sure miss spending time with her.
Ask her if she could please limit the time she spends entering each day as the biggest prize is time spent with family. There is no prize that she could possibly win that is as valuable.
Be prepared to give her lots of support and love as it won't be easy for her, but I know you can do it.
Please let us know how it goes. Your mom is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter.

I can truly relate. Where's the local sweepers anonymous when you need one :smt003? I had to cut back too, I was trying to work my life around entering sweeps and relized I was missing out on my life :smt018. First I cut out entering for the small prizes. I then went to my daily's and instants and got rid of a bunch that I felt I could live without entering. You have to keep a balanced life, sweeping is a hobby for your spare time... repeat as often as necessary.

I couldn't agree more. This hobby can take over your life if you let it. I decided one day that it was ridiculous to enter so many sweepstakes. Lots of the stuff I didn't even want if I did win it. I cut out a lot of 1X entries and lots of dailys. I now spend about 1 1/2 hours a day on about 50 instants and about 50 dailys. I am much happier. There are many more important things than sweeping.
