Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post. The 45-year-old singer reflected on how alcohol impacted her life and expressed gratitude for choosing faith over fear.
Reflections on Sobriety
Jessica shared a selfie alongside her message, writing, “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 explained how alcohol had a negative effect on her:
“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
She continued to emphasize a positive outlook:
“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.”
Impact on Creativity
Jessica also revealed earlier this year that her sobriety had deeply influenced her songwriting. While working with some of the top hitmakers in Los Angeles during 2016 and 2017, she did not release certain songs because they didn’t feel authentic to her.
