Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on her journey.
Personal Reflection on Sobriety
Simpson shared that alcohol had previously "silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency." She emphasized the importance of choosing faith over fear, writing,
“I’m so happy I chose faith over fear.”
She described her decision eight years ago as a turning point:
“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. Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life.”
Faith, Fear, and Strength
Jessica distinguished between fear and faith as invisible feelings and highlighted her strength came from surrender, not from fighting:
“Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
Impact on Her Songwriting
Simpson also revealed that sobriety profoundly influenced her creative work. While collaborating with top hitmakers in Los Angeles during 2016 and 2017, she chose not to release some songs because they "just didn’t feel like me."
