Jessica Simpson, the Hollywood singer‑actress who once fronted a bestselling fashion line, recently marked a major personal milestone on Instagram. She celebrated eight years of sobriety and reflected on how quitting alcohol changed her life and her music.
On the post, the 45‑year‑old shared that the decision to stop drinking came when she was 32, “to confront, to confess and to let go of the self‑sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing.” She felt alcohol had dulled her intuition, blocked her dreams, and fueled fears of complacency. Because the bottle had silenced her inner voice, she chose faith over fear. “I’m so happy I chose faith over fear,” she wrote, adding that her strength lay in surrender rather than struggle.
Simpson said the changes were not just spiritual. She now feels clearer, more focused, and more honest about her thoughts. In an earlier interview with People, the singer explained that the heavy drinking that began around 2016, when she started writing new music, left her feeling “sorry for myself.” She admitted that the alcohol’s “lies about bravery” let her rebel without telling the truth. “I’m so much more honest without alcohol, and I actually believe in myself so much more,” she said.
The actress recently split from Eric Johnson, and she notes that drinking had quieted her emotions. Instead of confronting and working through feelings, she let them just be and didn’t act on them. Without alcohol, she says she can face them head on.
Simpson’s story has drawn attention from fans who see her as a role model for people dealing with addiction. Her public journey illustrates how sobriety can open up new creative possibilities and deepen faith. Her recent celebration on Instagram encourages anyone struggling to make a positive change to consider the path she paved.
