Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety
Singer, actress, and reality TV star Jessica Simpson is marking eight years of sobriety this weekend.
Personal Reflection on Sobriety
"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, 45, wrote on Instagram Saturday.
She shared that this decision helped her fully engage in pursuing God's purpose for her life. She explained how alcohol had dulled her intuition, blocked her dreams, and fueled her fears of complacency. Now, she feels driven by faith.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
"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," she added.
