Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
Singer, actress, and reality TV personality Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety this weekend.
Personal Reflection on Sobriety
“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, 45, wrote on Instagram Saturday.
She shared how this decision helped her embrace her life's purpose: “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God's purpose for my life.”
Overcoming Challenges
Jessica explained how alcohol had negatively impacted her life: “Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency. 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,” she added.

Simpson is also the author of the memoir Open Book, published in 2020.
