I understand your anxiety. Starting a new job is always a little nerve racking especially if you aren't experienced in all that's expected. Give yourself a break. Assuming you didn't falsify your qualifications, then your boss knows that you aren't experienced in supervision and is therefor prepared for you to make some mistakes. Trust your instincts. Let go and let God. If it's the right place for you to be then you will know it.
I am a Bad NA.I joined the job and when was told to keep the keys of full office I got scared and anxious and quit the job same day.Honestly speaking I am for treatment for Delusion disorder Paranoia and I take maintenence meds exactly as precribed by a qualified shrink who knows about addiction.Thanks god I didnot end up using inspite of loosing the job.My heart ,my doc and many oldtimers in AA and NA know my case so I know that I am not high as one NA member is telling everyone everywhere that I am not clean becoz I take meds.I and my doc is aware of AA pamplet-AA members and medications" and NA pamplet-In time of illness".
Forget about what other people in the fellowship think. They know nothing. It seems pretty clear that you were not ready for all this job entailed. Now you know.
