Jessica Simpson Reflects on Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt message shared on Instagram. The 45-year-old artist celebrated the milestone by posting a reflective note paired with a smiling selfie.
“Eight 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.”
She continued by explaining how alcohol once hindered her spiritual and creative clarity.
“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency. Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith.”
Simpson emphasized how faith became the foundation of her recovery journey.
“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.”
Renewed Creative Vision
The “I Wanna Love You” singer also shared that sobriety reignited her creative process, allowing her to reconnect with her genuine artistic voice. She noted that in 2016 and 2017, while working with top songwriters in Los Angeles, she withheld some tracks because they didn’t feel authentic to her.
“They just didn’t feel like me.”
