The singer reshared a powerful photo to her Instagram stories marking the beginning of her journey toward sobriety in 2017, saying she looks 'unrecognizable.'

Jessica Simpson celebrated six years of sobriety on November 1, and took to Instagram to share a candid photo of herself the day she quit drinking.

The singer reshared a powerful photo of an "unrecognizable version" of herself, which she posted in 2021 on the fourth anniversary of being sober.


In the caption she shared:

"This person in the early morning of Nov 1, 2017 is an unrecognizable version of myself."
"I had so much self discovery to unlock and explore. I knew in this very moment I would allow myself to take back my light, show victory over my internal battle of self respect, and brave this world with piercing clarity."
"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 feel the pain so I could carry it like a badge of honor."
"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."

People on social media congratulated Simpson on her huge milestone and applauded her bravery and courage.

Simpson also shared in her post that in order to be successful on her journey, she had to accept failure and pain.

"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."

She finished her post declaring she is now "free."

"I have made nice with the fears and I have accepted the parts of my life that are just sad. I own my personal power with soulful courage."
"I am wildly honest and comfortably open."
"I am free."

Congratulations, Jessica!

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
