Jessica Simpson shared a picture from her time as an alcoholic on social media and explained how she got rid of the addiction.
Jessica Simpson has one on Facebook and Instagram Post posted, in which she speaks openly about her alcohol addiction. She also shared a picture from 2017 in which she is sitting on a couch in a jogging suit in a jogging suit, without make-up and clearly changed.
“An unrecognizable version of myself,” the singer describes the unfavorable photo, with which she also has good memories. At that moment she knew that she would win in her inner struggle, writes Simpson.
“To do that, I had to stop drinking because my head and heart were spinning and I was quite frankly exhausted.” She couldn’t believe it was four years ago – it felt more like two.
“Drinking wasn’t the problem”
In the post she also tries to tackle the stigma of alcoholism. “The real work that had to be done in my life was actually to accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self-sabotage. Drinking wasn’t the problem. It was me. I didn’t love myself. I have my own power not respected. Today already. ” Today she is wild, honest and pleasantly open, says Simpson. She closes the text with the recognition: “I am free.”
Simpson has been married to her second husband Eric Johnson since 2014 and has three children, daughter Maxwell Drew born in 2012, son Ace Knute born in 2013 and Birdie Mae Johnson born in 2019. Simpson had already reported on her alcohol and pill addiction in her 2020 autobiography “Open Book”.
