On November 1, Jessica Simpson marked eight years of sobriety by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post. The singer, age 45, reflected on how alcohol had impacted her life negatively before her transformation.
Jessica wrote about the effects alcohol had on her, stating that it “silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.” She described making the choice eight years ago as a turning point that allowed her to abandon self-sabotaging behaviors.
