TOMU: Jimmy Thistle - The Truth About Alcohol, Sobriety and Recovery

In this honest and reflective conversation, I sit down with Jimmy Thistle to unpack their personal journeys with alcohol, identity, and growth. From the recklessness of youth to the quiet realisations that come with self-awareness, we explore how drinking shaped their choices, relationships, and sense of purpose.The episode dives into the normalization of heavy drinking in social culture, the hidden costs that often go unnoticed, and the turning points that lead to change. Jimmy shares his experience with sobriety, shedding light on the challenges of letting go, the pull of nostalgia, and the discipline required to build a new path.Together, we discuss the power of creative outlets like photography, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and what it really means to find your tribe. This is a conversation about growth, accountability, and choosing a more intentional life, even when it’s the harder road.Check out the rest of our socials here...https://linktr.ee/tomupodcastYou can support the show further here by buying me a coffee.https://buymeacoffee.com/tomupodcastCatch Jimmy on his podcast After Hours with Jimmy Thistle here on Spotify...https://open.spotify.com/show/7b9xSfUrFFeWKWwwmkRf7O?si=0301d3be6e5b4095 Also on other podcast platformsAppreciate you all.
