Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety

On this milestone, Jessica posted a selfie and spoke openly about the impact alcohol once had on her life and how her perspective has changed since quitting. She wrote on Instagram:
"Eight years ago today, I made the decision to face, accept, and release the parts of my life that I chose to sabotage. Making this decision allowed me to live fully by seeking God's purpose in my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams, and fueled my fear of self-confidence."
Choosing Faith Over Fear
Jessica reflected on how her outlook shifted from fear to faith, emphasizing the emotional complexity of both:
"Today I see clearly. Both fear and faith are feelings that we cannot always see, but we can feel. I am so glad I chose faith over fear. I did not find my strength in struggle - but in surrender."
Personal Growth and Creativity
She described the recovery process as deeply personal and transformative, crediting abstinence for bringing her clarity and inner peace. Jessica also noted that while she used to write music during her drinking years, alcohol hindered her ability to express honest and authentic emotions. Now, she feels more creative and free in her expression than ever.
