Jessica Simpson has been sober for six years. The mother of three now remembered her most important fight on Instagram.
Jessica Simpson (43) is celebrating a new milestone in her fight against alcohol. This month, the singer and actress has been sober for six years.
She didn’t love herself anymore
The mother of three celebrated this anniversary on Thursday (November 2). In it she recalled a two-year-old post of hers. In 2021 she posted a photo of herself that was taken in 2017 and showed a visibly upset woman. “Six years ago,” Simpson wrote. It was then that she decided that her life urgently needed to change. “That person in 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, to show victory over my inner struggle for self-respect and to show this world with penetrating To defy 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.” On their very special anniversary, Simpson shared Maxwell, 11. “Choose to be kind today because you never know how much someone might need it,” she captioned the shared snapshot.
Third pregnancy was difficult
Simpson has been married to her second husband Eric Johnson (44) 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 reported on her addiction to alcohol and pills. In it, she described how she realized on Halloween 2017 that she had to fight drinking: she was so drunk after a party that she couldn’t dress her children. The last pregnancy brought with it another challenge. Simpson gained a lot of weight and ended up weighing 117 kilograms – more than her husband. Thanks to a lot of exercise and a change in diet, she lost around 45 kilos again after giving birth in 2019.
