American actress and singer Jessica Simpson recently celebrated eight years of being alcohol-free. She shared an emotional message reflecting on her journey to recovery and self-discovery.
Jessica spoke openly about how alcohol once affected her life and the positive changes sobriety brought. She posted a selfie on Instagram and explained the impact of her decision.
"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."
She continued by contrasting fear and faith, noting their intangible nature but powerful influence.
"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."
Jessica described her recovery as deeply personal and transformative, emphasizing that abstinence brought her mental clarity and peace.
Previously, she often wrote music while drinking but felt that alcohol blocked her honesty and authenticity. Now, she says she writes more freely and openly than ever.
