Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety on November 2, reflecting on how quitting alcohol transformed her life and gave her renewed purpose.
Her Journey to Sobriety
Simpson shared on Instagram the significance of her decision eight years ago:
“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.”
Impact on Life and Perspective
At 45, and mother to Maxwell (13), Ace (12), and Birdie (6), Simpson spoke about alcohol’s previous effects:
- It “silenced my intuition.”
- It “blocked my dreams.”
- It “chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
Now she feels clarified and empowered, stating:
“Today I am clear. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear.”
She further explained, “It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
Personal Transition and Future Plans
This milestone arrives amid significant changes in Simpson’s personal life. After confirming her split from estranged husband Eric Johnson earlier this year, she is preparing to resume her acting career.
Simpson will appear in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair, starring alongside Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
