About this listen

Victoria Vanstone grew up in 1980s England in a happy home full of laughter, booze and a disturbing amount of fancy-dress parties. From her youthful days downing cheap wine at the local park to dodging disastrous relationships and a messy run-in with a firework, her reliable mate alcohol was never far from reach.

Eventually, Victoria found herself in Australia with a husband and a child on the way. After sobering up for her first pregnancy, becoming a boring, bottom-wiping, cleaning machine meant she soon returned to her binge-drinking ways, and had to grapple anew with the habits and beliefs that had gone unchecked since childhood.

Can a party girl put down the pint glass for good?

Incredibly funny and highly relatable, A Thousand Wasted Sundays is for anyone that has ever had a close encounter of the drinking kind. For fans of Rosie Waterland, Judith Lucy, Dolly Alderton and Adam Kay.

Critic reviews

‘Outrageously honest … refreshingly vulnerable and wonderfully witty.’ (Maz Compton)
‘Weaves humour with heart … leaves you not only questioning your relationship with alcohol, but also your relationship with yourself.’ (William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained)

No sugar coating here! The author's vulnerability is what draws you in. The detailed accounts of the ugly side of being an alcoholic and the beautiful, triumphant ending is what makes this book a real gem. Check out the Sober Awkward podcast too if you like this author! It has also been instrumental in maintaining my sobriety.

I really enjoyed this touching life story. Vic relays her story openly and brutally honestly and in the process will become your “friend”. It certainly gave me inspiration to continue my own wonderful sober journey. Thanks Vic!

This was such an honest and raw book about drinking, what contributes to it, how hard it can be to quit (when you know you should) and what it’s like afterwards. I appreciate the realness.
