American actress and singer Jessica Simpson marked eight years of abstinence from alcohol, sharing an emotional reflection on her journey of recovery and self-discovery.
On the anniversary of her sobriety, Jessica posted a selfie with an honest message about how alcohol once affected her life and how things have changed since then.
"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 reflected on the emotional nature of fear and faith, writing:
"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 revealed that while she used to write music during periods of drinking, she felt alcohol hindered her honesty and authenticity. Now, free from alcohol, she expresses herself more openly and honestly than ever before.
She described her recovery as deeply personal and transformative, leading to clarity and inner peace.
