American actress and singer Jessica Simpson has marked eight years of sobriety, sharing an emotional reflection on her path to recovery and self-discovery. To commemorate the milestone, she posted a selfie and spoke candidly about how alcohol once influenced her life and how choosing sobriety transformed her perspective.
“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.”
Simpson explained that the choice to stop drinking was not just about quitting alcohol but about regaining clarity and inner strength through faith. She described her recovery as a deeply personal and transformative experience, noting that embracing faith rather than fear redefined her sense of purpose.
“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.”
Reflecting on her creative journey, Simpson revealed that during her drinking years, she often wrote music but felt that alcohol stifled honesty and emotional truth in her songwriting. Now, she says, her creativity flows more freely and authentically than ever before.
