4 Jun
Summary
- Simpson shared insight into her eight-year sobriety journey.
- She realized drinking was causing more pain, not numbing it.
- The singer feels proud of her progress and chooses faith.
During a recent performance at Yaamava' Resort and Casino in Highland, California, Jessica Simpson opened up about her more than eight years of sobriety. She described her journey as ongoing, stating, "I'm a work in progress." Simpson shared that she came to understand the traumas she was holding onto, which was a painful process.
She realized that her drinking was not numbing her pain but was instead creating more of it. Simpson acknowledged that she had become a person she didn't recognize or understand. As a mother, she felt she was not setting a good example before this realization.
Simpson celebrated eight years of sobriety in November, marking the occasion on Instagram by stating she chose faith over fear. She described her strength as coming from surrender rather than fighting. Last year, she returned to performing after a 15-year break, including appearances at SXSW.
