Jessica Simpson marks 8 years sober amid divorce: 'Silenced my intuition'

Jessica Simpson Marks 8 Years of Sobriety Amid Divorce

Jessica Simpson is celebrating eight years of sobriety while going through the end of her 11-year marriage to Eric Johnson. On November 1, the 45-year-old singer and fashion entrepreneur shared a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on her personal journey.

“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. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”

She added that living in faith now guides her daily life.

“Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith... 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.”

Simpson also explained that giving up alcohol revived her creativity. In a February interview with The Cut, shared shortly after she filed for divorce, she spoke about how sobriety impacted her writing process.

“Every time I would write, I was a little afraid of myself… especially because I was drinking at the time. But once I gave up the alcohol, the fears just diminished. They went away.”

Earlier this year, Simpson officially filed for divorce from Johnson, marking the end of their long-term relationship.
