Jessica Simpson looks wildly different in a throwback snap taken six years ago.
The Hollywood star celebrated being sober for six years after she turned her life around and quit drinking for good. The actress posted a snap on her Instagram to show fans just how far she has come, and she looks amazing.
The songstress said the image, taken during her booze battle, shows an “unrecognisable version of myself.” This is the second time that she has shared the snaps as she also shared the same message two years ago to celebrate her four-year anniversary of sobriety.

In the emotional caption, Jessica penned: “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 honour. 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.”

Jessica is often open and honest about the struggles that she had with alcohol in the past. As she details in her memoir she spent the day before the day she quit drinking preparing for a Halloween party she and her husband Eric Johnson were hosting and had her first drink at 7:30 am that morning.
After the party, Jess gathered her family and friends around to tell them that she needed to change. In the book she wrote that she told them: “I need to stop. Something’s got to stop. And if it’s the alcohol that’s doing this, and making things worse, then I quit.”
