Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety
On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety by sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram. The 45-year-old singer reflected on her journey, expressing how alcohol once clouded her intuition and dreams.
Reflections on Sobriety and Faith
Jessica posted a casual selfie with a thoughtful caption, writing, “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 explained how this decision led her to embrace a fuller life aligned with her spiritual purpose.
“Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
She added, “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. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
Impact on Songwriting
Jessica also revealed that her sobriety has influenced her creative process. Earlier this year, she shared that during 2016 and 2017, while collaborating with top hitmakers in Los Angeles, she withheld some songs because they no longer felt authentic to her.
“I never released a few of my songs because they just didn’t feel like me.”
Summary
Jessica Simpson’s eight-year sobriety journey transformed her by restoring her intuition, inspiring faith over fear, and reshaping her artistic expression.
