I’m taking the peer recovery specialist test tomorrow I’m nervous and really don’t think it’s the field for me, dealing with others in recovery is a real test to my sobriety don’t think I want to surround myself with that, but I took the class and we will see.

I'm sure you'll do fine.
I'd working with others in sobriety could cause you to relapse, then don't do it. You gotta put yourself first.

I passed the test and that’s exactly what I was thinking I took myself out of that world like it doesn’t exist working this job would mean putting myself back into it. I’m praying for guidance I’m conflicted now that it’s real.

Keep praying. I'm praying for you and the situation as well.

Hi Jessica, I am finishing a long time goal of being a substance counselor (I went back out for a long while). A friend told me to always keep my sobriety and my job separate. Even though I will be working with alcoholics/addicts for a job, I will need to work with alcoholics/addicts separately from that as part of my program. I hope that makes since. He explains it a lot better. Lol. And I second the praying over it. Stay strong and keep moving forward.
Good luck 
You will do great. Keep sobriety as your priority and you can be very successful.
