WARNING: mention of childhood abuse

Jessica Simpson has been sober for four years—and you can tell just by looking at her.

American singer, actress, and fashion icon Jessica Simpson announced she has maintained four years of sobriety by sharing a picture from her rock bottom.

The photo, which depicts her near the end of 2017, was one Simpson herself described as being "unrecognizable," and how it made her determined "to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity."


She wrote:

"Personally, to do this I needed to stop drinking alcohol because it kept my mind and heart circling in the same direction and quite honestly I was exhausted."
"I wanted to live as a leader does and break cycles to advance forward ― never looking back with regret and remorse over any choice I have made and would make for the rest of my time here within this beautiful world."

Simpson also expressed disbelief four years had already passed since the photo was taken, but it was "a good thing."



Simpson, 41, also shared a deeply personal story about how she became addicted to alcohol and stimulants and the catastrophic night that led to her finally getting the help she needed.

The story was published as part of Simpson's 2020 memoir, Open Book. In her memoir, Simpson wrote she had originally turned to alcohol and stimulants as a way to cope with traumatic memories of being sexually abused as a child.

The final straw for Simpson was Halloween night in 2017, when her drinking got so out of control she ended up missing the holiday with her children.

On the morning of that fateful Halloween, Simpson had already began drinking by 7am, when she and husband Eric Johnson had to attend a school assembly with their daughter Maxwell.

Simpson wrote by nightfall she had become so inebriated she was unable to take her children trick or treating.

"I am ashamed to say that I don't know who got them into their costumes that night."
"I slept in, afraid to see them, afraid I had failed them. I hid until they left, then drank."

The next morning, Simpson decided to get sober and get control of her life back.

And now, four years later, Simpson is sober and thriving.

Twitter was flooded with support and celebration for Simpson's sobriety journey.













Simpson wrote:

"The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self sabotage."
"The drinking wasn't the issue. I was. I didn't love myself. I didn't respect my own power. Today I do."

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
