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 and entrepreneur reflected on the impact of alcohol on her life and the transformative power of faith.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
Jessica shared a candid message alongside a casual selfie, 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. Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency."
She continued:
"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."
Sobriety’s Influence on Creativity
Jessica also revealed that her sobriety deeply influenced her songwriting. Earlier this year, she mentioned that some songs she wrote in 2016 and 2017 with prominent hitmakers in Los Angeles were never released because they "just didn’t feel like me."
Impact on Personal and Professional Life
- Alcohol had silenced her intuition and blocked her dreams.
