American actress and singer Jessica Simpson marked eight years of abstinence from alcohol by sharing a heartfelt message about her recovery and self-discovery journey.
On this milestone, Jessica posted a selfie and spoke candidly about the impact alcohol had on her life and how things have transformed since quitting.
"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 expressed how this choice brought clarity and peace, emphasizing the importance of faith over fear in her healing.
"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. She noted that while she used to write music during times of drinking, alcohol hindered the honesty and authenticity of her work. Now, she writes more freely and openly than ever.
