Jessica Simpson Reflects on 8 Years of Sobriety
Jessica Simpson is celebrating a significant milestone and embracing a renewed sense of purpose. On November 2, the singer marked eight years of sobriety, sharing how giving up alcohol transformed her life.
“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.”
The Impact of Sobriety on Her Life
At 45, Simpson, who has three children — Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6 — with estranged husband Eric Johnson, reflected on the changes sobriety brought to her perspective. She revealed that alcohol had once “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
Now, she sees things more clearly:
“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.”
“It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
Moving Forward Amid Change
This milestone comes during a period of personal transition. Earlier this year, Simpson confirmed her split from Johnson and is preparing for a return to acting. She will appear in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair, featuring Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
