Jessica Simpson has been sober for six years
Jessica Simpson is celebrating a new milestone in her fight against alcohol. This month, the singer and actress has been sober for six years. The mother of three is celebrating this anniversary in her Instagram story. In it, the 43-year-old recalls a two-year-old post of herself. In 2021, she posted a photo of herself that was taken in 2017 and showed a visibly deranged woman.
"Six years ago," Simpson now writes. At the time, she decided that her life urgently needed to change. "This person on the early morning of November 1, 2017 is an unrecognizable version of me. I knew in that moment that I would allow myself to reclaim my light, victory over my inner struggle to show self-respect and defy this world with piercing clarity."
She actually managed to get her alcohol addiction under control. She now regularly shows off her healthy lifestyle on Instagram, posting herself slim and fit with her children. Simpson revealed two years ago: "Drinking wasn't the problem. It was me. I didn't love myself. I didn't respect my own power."
Aha experience 2017
On her very special anniversary, Simpson also shared a photo with her daughter Maxwell (11). "Choose to be kind today because you never know how much someone might need it," she wrote on the snapshot they shared.
Simpson has been married to her second husband Eric Johnson since 2014. She has three children, daughter Maxwell Drew, born in 2012, son Ace Knute, born in 2013, and Birdie Mae Johnson, born in 2019.
In her autobiography "Open Book", published in 2020, she wrote about her addiction to alcohol and pills. In it, she described how she realized on Halloween 2017 that she had to stop drinking: She was so drunk after a party that she couldn't get her children dressed, she said.
The last pregnancy brought another challenge. Simpson put on a lot of weight and ended up weighing 117 kilograms. Thanks to a lot of sport and a change in diet, she lost around 45 kilos after giving birth in 2019.
Jessica Simpson frequently shares her love for Music and Entertainment on her Instagram, often posting clips of her singing Pop music. Despite her successful sobriety, she admitted two years ago that her struggle wasn't with alcohol, but her self-image and respect for herself. Occasionally, she attends events with her husband Eric Johnson, where they enjoy the Music and lively atmosphere, responsible and mindful of their past.
