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 31 - Luke Jones
Luke Jones is a sober transformation coach, ICF-accredited Life Coach, and NLP Master Practitioner who helps dads quit alcohol for good and become the role models their kids deserve. After a wake-up call from his son, Luke made the bold decision to get sober, move his family to the Isle of Man, and create a life rooted in clarity, presence, and purpose.
Now, he empowers other dads to break free from old habits, reclaim their energy, and build lives full of meaning—without losing their sense of fun or identity. Luke shares practical tools and real-life strategies to help dads show up fully for themselves and their families.
