Jessica Simpson reflects on 8 years of sobriety: ‘Purpose for my life’

Jessica Simpson Celebrates Eight Years of Sobriety

Jessica Simpson recently marked a significant milestone, celebrating eight years of sobriety on November 2. She shared a heartfelt message about how giving up alcohol transformed her life and renewed her sense of purpose.

An Important Decision

“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,” Simpson wrote on Instagram. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life.”

How Sobriety Changed Her

At 45, Simpson reflected on how alcohol had previously clouded her judgment and held her back. She explained that drinking once “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”

“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,” she added. “It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”

Personal Changes and Future Plans

This milestone comes amid a period of change in Simpson’s personal life. She confirmed her split from estranged husband Eric Johnson earlier this year. Together, they share three children: Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6.

Simpson is also preparing for a return to acting. She will appear in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair alongside Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
