"Eight years ago today, I made the decision to face, accept, and release the parts of my life that I chose to sabotage. Making this decision allowed me to live fully by seeking God's purpose in my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams, and fueled my fear of self-confidence."
Choosing Faith Over Fear
She continued, highlighting the importance of her choice to embrace faith over fear:
"Today I see clearly. Both fear and faith are feelings that we cannot always see, but we can feel. I am so glad I chose faith over fear. I did not find my strength in struggle - but in surrender."
Personal Transformation and Clarity
Jessica described her recovery as a deeply personal and transformative process that brought her clarity and inner peace. She also revealed that although she wrote music while drinking, alcohol hindered the honesty and authenticity in her creativity.
Creative Freedom Post-Sobriety
Today, she says she writes more freely and authentically than ever before, reflecting the positive impact sobriety has had on her artistic expression.
Summary
Jessica Simpson’s eight years of sobriety have led to personal growth, spiritual clarity, and a newfound freedom in her creative work.
