Hey @DGoldman,
I think this is a good palce to post this! So to clairfy what you are looking for is some info on how people find/found AA meets? The process they went through for that? (just as you know our guidelines stop us from sharing specific locations of meets that's all)
This website https://aa.org.au/ is really great. It has a directory here where you can search the AA meetings in any specific suburb and you can read a bit about the different types of meetings here. There also looks like there are some useful resources you might like to give your friend too. They also have a helpline 1300 222 222 which connects you to a local AA office. It might be worth calling and explaining the situation if you want more information or even giving that number to your friend?
I know its really tough when you want to help a loved one so much and you do all you can - this is a really kind gesture. Just always be aware that as helpful as you can be, the responsibility of recovery still sits with that person and you cannot take that wholly on board. If they are getting upset with you, just ensure you keep looking after yourself first. We are all better able to support others if we support ourselves first! Might even be worth having a read of of Carers side of the forum to get some pointers on supporting friends ☺️
