Description
Money problems aren't math problems. They're human problems.
After losing nearly everything to alcohol-his freedom, career, savings, and sense of self-Greg Downs walked into a recovery meeting and started working the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. What he discovered changed his life: The same principles that help people recover from addiction can also transform their relationship with money.
Greg spent 14 years as a financial advisor to some of the wealthiest families in the country. He watched clients with every resource imaginable make financial decisions driven by fear, shame, the need to look successful and the illusion of control. If money were a math problem, they would have solved it. Most financial struggles aren't caused by laziness or a lack of information. They're driven by emotions that keep us stuck.
In 12 Steps to Financial Sobriety, you'll discover how to:
• Name the emotional patterns driving your financial decisions
• Break the cycle of shame, avoidance and overspending
• Build a financial life aligned with your values
• Find lasting peace with money that doesn't depend on how much of it you have
This isn't a book about budgeting harder or mastering spreadsheets. It's a practical, step-by-step guide to financial sobriety.
If you've ever said, "I'm just not good with money," this book is for you.

Money problems rarely begin with money. They begin with the beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns that shape every financial decision. 12 Steps to Financial Sobriety offers a powerful path to lasting change by addressing the deeper issues behind financial struggle. Honest, practical, and hopeful, this book shows that financial freedom starts with personal transformation.
—DR. DANIEL CROSBY, author of The Soul of Wealth
I rarely take advice from dudes, but Greg Downs isn't your typical finance expert. His fresh perspective bridges mental health and money, helping anyone who's ready to untangle their emotional relationship with the almighty dollar.
—TAWNY LARA, author of Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze
I've never read a book about money that so deeply understands the psychology and shame underneath it. Most money books tell you what to do. 12 Steps to Financial Sobriety gets to the deeper reasons you're stuck, and then gives you a way to change it at the root. As a licensed therapist, I cannot wait to recommend it to all my clients!
—AMANDA E. WHITE, LPC, LMHC, founder of Therapy For Women Center
Admitting you have a problem is the first step. But what do you do next? Greg Downs created a map. 12 Steps to Financial Sobriety takes the framework that's helped millions get sober and applies it to the thing almost no one can talk about honestly: money. Honest, practical, and unlike anything else on the shelf.
–NICOLE LAPIN, New York Times bestselling author, founder of Money News Network, and host of the Money Rehab podcast
I never thought that I'd want to read a book about personal finances, but Greg Downs has eased my worst fears, inspired willingness, and gotten me ready to do the inner work required to get financially sober. Genuinely, this book is a miracle.
—PAULINA PINSKY, co-author of It Doesn't Have To Be Awkward and writer of the Substack Newly Sober.
