Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety on November 1 with a heartfelt Instagram post. The singer, now 45, shared a smiling selfie and a message of gratitude, reflecting on her journey and growth.
“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.”
Simpson explained that her decision to stop drinking allowed her to reconnect with her faith and live according to her purpose. She wrote that alcohol once dulled her instincts and stifled her creativity.
“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
She described sobriety as a path to clarity and spiritual renewal, emphasizing that real strength came not from fighting but from surrendering.
“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.”
Simpson has also credited her sobriety with revitalizing her creative process. Reflecting on her past songwriting, she shared that some unreleased songs from 2016 and 2017 “just didn’t feel like me,” highlighting how sobriety helped her rediscover authenticity in her music.
