has some a long way in a short period of time -- a milestone she marked on social media Monday as she celebrated four years of sobriety.
The singer, 41, shared a photo of herself from November 1, 2017 to her Instagram page, as she reflected on where she was physically and emotionally at that time -- a time she previously called a real rock bottom moment in her alcoholism battle."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," she captioned the photo.
"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," she continued."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.
"I can't believe it has been 4yrs! It feels like maybe 2. I think that is a good thing. Ha," Simpson went on."There is so much stigma around the word alcoholism or the label of an alcoholic. The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self sabotage.""I didn't respect my own power," she wrote."Today I do. I have made nice with the fears and I have accepted the parts of my life that are just sad.
