To find a meeting, I suggest that she google "Alcoholics Anonymous". That will get her to the main AA site, aa.org. On the google listing it has a link to "How to find AA Meetings". Click, and follow the directions. She can enter her zip code and find the nearest meeting.
To get a sponsor, and what a sponsor is for:
Sponsors are AA members that help the newcomer work the 12 steps of AA. The minimum requirement should be that they have worked the 12 steps of AA in order, as described in the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" (that's where we got the name).
Why, you might ask?
Because it's hard to help someone do step 7 for example, if the sponsor hasn't done it for themselves.
She will find a sponsor at meetings (it's someone that you ask for yourself).
Best Wishes and keep us posted.
