Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post. The 45-year-old singer reflected on the impact alcohol had on her life and how choosing faith transformed her.
Reflecting on Her Sobriety Journey
Jessica shared a casual selfie and wrote, “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 described how alcohol affected her, saying it “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
“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.”
She added that both fear and faith are feelings that may not be visible, but her clarity now comes from faith.
Impact on Creativity
Jessica also revealed that sobriety has influenced her songwriting. In 2016 and 2017, while working with top hitmakers in Los Angeles, she chose not to release some songs because they didn’t feel authentic to her.
“Those songs just didn’t feel like me.”
