“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.”
On her Instagram Stories Thursday, Simpson shared her own post from 2021 which marked her fourth anniversary of getting sober. The post features a photo of Simpson sitting alone on November 1, 2017, with a caption where Simpson says she sees “an unrecognizable version of myself.” “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,” she captioned the photo.
She’d had drinks at a Halloween party, and didn’t feel up to helping her kids get into their costumes, so she hid. “I was terrified of letting them see me in that shape,” Simpson wrote in the memoir. “I am ashamed to say that I don't know who got them into their costumes that night.” She took an Ambien, then slept in the next morning to avoid facing them. She drank again. Then, friends came over and Simpson faced her journey. “I need to stop,” she writes that she recalled saying.
