After Hours with Jimmy Thistle
Join Jimmy Thistle for After Hours — the brutally honest, funny and heartwarming podcast that dives deep into alcohol, addiction, and recovery.
Each week, Jimmy sits down with real people who’ve faced the highs, lows, and hangovers of drinking culture. Through unfiltered conversation, laughter, and raw honesty, they explore what happens when we start questioning our relationship with alcohol — and what life looks like on the other side.
Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just wondering if alcohol’s got too much of a grip, this show is for you. Expect real stories, a few laughs, and plenty of lightbulb moments from people who’ve been there.
Recorded in the UK and Isle of Man but shared worldwide, After Hours is here to prove that recovery can be real, relatable, and even a little bit funny.

After Hours with Jimmy Thistle
Episode 40 - Craig Hewins
Craig used to spend most of his time down at the pub, drinking to escape reality. Beer became his answer to everything—feeling anxious? Have a pint. Feeling low? Have two. Before Craig knew it, he was stuck in a spiral where the only thing he was really committed to was last orders. Three years ago, Craig decided enough was enough and gave up alcohol. Since then, his life has completely changed—He is sober, healthy and positive. He feels as though he has been given a second chance at life and is going to embrace it with all he can!
