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.

All the feels!
This a a very well written bio that is very relatable for those of us that came of age in the 80s and 90s. it's honest, very raw, funny, confronting but most of all heartfelt. It's a very well structured bio that cleverly has the past and present meet in the middle which makes it hard to put down.
I have a rule to always do bios on audible as I love the texture added by the author reading their own story. This one doesn't miss. Victoria will draw you in from the opening chapters.
Give her listen (or a read) and if you enjoy it then head over to her podcast Sober Awkward.

This is the most honest sober story ever
I wanted the audio version of this book as I felt I needed this to be read from the Author. I felt like someone read my brain and told my story this book was so honest and relatable, I laughed and cried this is definitely one of the best sober books.

Funny, Entertaining and Honest
This was a great easy listen, I love that Victoria is reading her own story. Victoria take you on a very deep and honest journey through her life and highlights the impact alcohol has had on her. I highly recommend this book.

Funny, heart breaking and eye opening!
This book is not only extremely entertaining and funny but also eye opening at the same time. Victorias life story reminded me a lot of my own and I appreciate someone bringing light into the dark world of addiction and the difficult moments when growing up. Certainly many of us have had similar experiences however never spoke about them. I was holding a lot of shame about myself, reading this helped me to feel more compassion towards myself and also towards this talented author. This would be a great read for teenagers to bring more awareness to substance abuse. Funny, heart breaking and eye opening. A must listen 💗

Relatable to me
I found myself relating to many of her stories. Drunk nights out, men, travel & wanting to be the life of the party. Being like and included. I too am looking at the sober side of life, I think it’s time. I’m listening to audiobooks, podcast show etc to see what right for me. Thanks for the great listen and laugh. I often wonder how I survived as well. Now 55yrs old w teen age sons, I think I have had enough drinks to last a life time. I’ll be tuning in to your podcasts now. Cheers Bee
