Jessica Simpson took to her social platforms to commemorate seven years of sobriety.
“7 years ago today, I stepped into the brightness of living alcohol-free [white heart emoji],” she wrote in her post.
Simpson disclosed her struggles with addiction in her 2020 memoir “Open Book.” The pop artist and reality TV star mentioned that she turned to alcohol to navigate through her trauma from childhood molestation and to manage the pressures of her fame.
A couple of years ago, she mentioned that her choice to embrace a sober lifestyle was prompted by a Halloween celebration.
“I desired to confront the pain, carrying it like a badge of honor. I aimed to live as a leader, breaking cycles to propel myself forward—never glancing back with regret or remorse over any decisions I have made and will make for the rest of my journey in this beautiful world,” she expressed on Instagram.
Supporters flooded Simpson’s comments section with uplifting messages.
