Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on her journey. The 45-year-old singer shared a candid selfie and opened up about the impact alcohol had on her life.
Overcoming Alcohol and Rediscovering Intuition
Jessica wrote, "Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency." She credited her decision to embrace faith over fear as a turning point in reclaiming her life and purpose.
“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.”
A Transformative Choice
She reflected on the day she decided to confront and release destructive habits: “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.” This step allowed her to pursue God’s purpose fully and live a clearer, faith-driven life.
Impact on Creativity and Songwriting
Jessica also revealed that sobriety profoundly influenced her creative process. In 2016 and 2017, despite working with top hitmakers in Los Angeles, she held back some songs because they didn’t feel authentic to her.
“Some songs just didn’t feel like me.”
Her journey of sobriety has enabled her to reconnect with her true artistic expression.
