American actress and singer Jessica Simpson marked eight years of abstinence from alcohol by sharing an emotional message about her journey to recovery and self-discovery.
On this milestone, Jessica posted a selfie and spoke candidly about the impact alcohol once had on her life and the changes since quitting.
"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."
"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."
Jessica described her recovery period as deeply personal and life-changing, bringing her clarity and inner peace. She shared that while she used to write music during her drinking days, alcohol hindered her ability to express honesty and authenticity.
Now, she writes more freely than ever before, embracing a new level of creative openness.
