On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety by posting a heartfelt message on Instagram. The 45-year-old singer reflected on the impact alcohol had on her life and the positive changes sobriety brought.
Jessica shared a selfie smiling at the camera alongside her message. She wrote about making a conscious choice years ago to confront and release self-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.”
She explained how alcohol affected her:
“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
Jessica emphasized the power of faith in her journey:
“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.”
Earlier this year, Jessica revealed sobriety changed her creative process.
“Back in 2016 and 2017, when I was writing with some of the biggest hitmakers in Los Angeles, I never released a few of my songs because they just didn’t feel like me.”
Jessica Simpson credits her sobriety for restoring her intuition, inspiring faith over fear, and reshaping her artistic expression.
