On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety with a heartfelt Instagram post. The 45-year-old singer reflected on the impact of alcohol on her life, writing that it "silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency."
Jessica shared that it was a conscious decision made eight years ago to confront and let go of self-sabotaging behaviors. She expressed how this choice led her to live fully in pursuit of a higher purpose.
“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... Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith.”
She added, “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.”
Simpson also noted how sobriety has helped her reconnect with her intuition and influenced her songwriting. She revealed that in 2016 and 2017, despite working with prominent music creators, she withheld some songs because they didn’t resonate with her authentic self.
“Back in 2016 and 2017, when I was writing with some of the biggest hitmakers in Los Angeles, I never released a few of my songs because they just didn’t feel like me.”
Jessica Simpson’s journey to sobriety empowered her to overcome fear, regain intuition, and embrace her true creative voice with faith and clarity.
