    She needs to establish a new set of friends. There are many of these around. They are called churches.

    Our church, a Unitarian Universalist one, is lots of fun. My wife and I are not hugely religious, but neither is anyone else at the church. We get together occasionally and have nice times. The church is full of couples with young children. Many women come without their husbands, as some couples have different religious ideas. Additionally, being a U-U church, drinking is not only condoned, but pretty common. Usually church functions involve wine. We also have church-related dinners at homes, which also involve drinking. Plenty of people in churches have small children, too. Catholic churches involve drinking, but it is frowned on in Methodist and some Protestant sects. Of course, Mormons don't drink. I note the drinking, because the original letter expressed a wish to get together with friends and share a glass of wine.
