In this episode of Sober Banter, Rachel is joined by Brenton Sconce—the meme genius behind @OfficeRecovery, a former pastor, and a fierce sober ally. Brenton opens up about his path to sobriety, beginning with rehab in July 2022 and evolving through deep aftercare, spiritual reflection, and a whole lot of humor.
He talks candidly about the moment he finally admitted he was an alcoholic, how the pressures of ministry shaped his addiction, and how The Office went from background comfort to a powerful language of recovery and connection.
We also dig into his latest mission: The Bloomsday Bear Crawl, a year-long challenge and fundraiser to provide scholarships for those seeking aftercare support in recovery.

📝 We Need Your Help!
If you love what we’re doing with Sober Banter, we could really use your support—specifically in the form of written reviews on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in. Right now, we’re seriously low on reviews (like... painfully low), and they actually make a big difference.
Written reviews help new listeners feel more confident pressing play when they stumble across the show—and with every new person, our recovery conversations reach a little further. We’d be so grateful. Just a quick sentence or two can go a long way. Thank you for being part of the Sober Banter fam.
