Jessica Simpson marks 8 years sober after hitting rock bottom in 2017

Jessica Simpson is marking a powerful milestone eight years of sobriety.

The 45-year-old singer reflected on her journey in an emotional Instagram post as she reviews the moment in 2017 when she decided to give up alcohol and reclaim her life.

“8 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,” Simpson began.

The With You songstress added, “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.”

Looking back, Simpson expressed gratitude for the clarity and faith that now guide her. “Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith.”

She continued, “Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, 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.”

Soon after the singer’s post was shared on social media her fans flocked the comment section to share their heartfelt reactions.

One fan wrote, “Amazing!!! So inspirational! I’m coming up on 3 years in March! This is the way life should be”

“You are an inspiration Jess,” another added.

A third commenter wrote, “Proud of you”
