Jessica Simpson Reflects on 8 Years of Sobriety
Jessica Simpson is celebrating a significant milestone with renewed purpose. On November 2, she marked eight years of sobriety, sharing how giving up alcohol transformed her life path.
“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 wrote on Instagram. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life.”
Impact of Sobriety on Her Outlook
Simpson, 45, who shares three children—Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6—with estranged husband Eric Johnson, described how sobriety changed her perspective. She revealed that alcohol once “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
“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,” Simpson said. “It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
New Beginnings Amid Personal Changes
This period of sobriety coincides with major transitions in her life. Earlier this year, Simpson confirmed her split from Johnson. She is also preparing to return to acting, starring in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair, alongside Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
