Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety Amid Divorce
Jessica Simpson marks eight years of sobriety while going through the end of her 11-year marriage with Eric Johnson. On November 1, the singer and fashion mogul, 45, shared a reflective message on Instagram about her journey.
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 wrote. “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 emphasized how her faith now guides her life, stating:
“Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith… 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
Simpson also revealed how sobriety impacted her creativity. In an interview with The Cut in February, shortly after filing for divorce, she shared:
“Every time I would write, I was a little afraid of myself… especially because I was drinking at the time. But once I gave up the alcohol, the fears just diminished. They went away.”
Divorce Announcement
This year, Simpson filed for divorce from Eric Johnson, ending their 11-year marriage.
