Jessica Simpson Reflects on 8 Years of Sobriety
Jessica Simpson is marking a significant milestone and embracing a renewed sense of purpose. On November 2, she celebrated eight years of sobriety, sharing how giving up alcohol transformed 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,” she wrote on Instagram. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life.”
Transformation Through Sobriety
At 45, Simpson, who shares children Maxwell (13), Ace (12), and Birdie (6) with estranged husband Eric Johnson, reflected on the impact sobriety has had on her perspective. She revealed that alcohol once “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
“Today I am clear. 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.”
New Chapter in Life and Career
This milestone comes amid personal changes. Earlier this year, Simpson confirmed her separation from Johnson. She is also preparing to return to acting, starring in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair with Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
