Jessica Simpson shares honest reflection marking 8 years of sobriety
Jessica Simpson, 45, celebrated eight years of sobriety over the weekend, posting a radiant selfie on Instagram and opening up about her past struggles with alcohol. The singer reflected on how faith helped her reclaim clarity, purpose, and creativity in her life.
"8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self-sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing," Simpson wrote.
She explained that this decision allowed her to live more fully and pursue what she believes to be God’s purpose for her life.
"Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency," she continued, adding, "Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith."
"Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see. I'm so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender."
Separately, Simpson, who announced her separation from Eric Johnson earlier this year, said that sobriety has been essential to renewing her artistic energy and resilience.
