Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear.”<\/p>\n “It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender,” Simpson concluded.<\/p>\n The mom of three — who shares kids Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6, with estranged husband Eric Johnson — has continued to be open with her fans about her sobriety journey over the years.<\/p>\n Last year, Simpson celebrated seven years of sobriety with a touching post.
