Jessica Simpson is marking a significant milestone and embracing the future with renewed clarity. On November 2, the singer celebrated eight years of sobriety, sharing how giving up alcohol has reshaped her life and sense of purpose.
“Eight 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 wrote on Instagram. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life.”
Simpson, 45, reflected on the personal transformation sobriety has brought her. She described how alcohol once muted her instincts, stifled her aspirations, and fueled her fears of settling for less.
“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 shared. “It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
The singer, who shares three children — Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6 — with her estranged husband Eric Johnson, is entering a new phase of her life. Earlier this year, Simpson confirmed their separation and is now preparing for her return to acting.
She will appear in the forthcoming legal drama All’s Fair, joining a cast that includes Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, and Sarah Paulson.
