My former friend 36m told me 33m that I can't go back into IT because I used to use drugs years ago. What should I do?

I'm 57 months clean from drugs and looking to return to IT after a 8 year absence due to addiction and recovery. I have a bachelor's degree in IT with a 3.9 gpa and 7 months of experience from 2018. I have a clean criminal record. I plan to put full-time caretaker on my resume to cover the gap. I'm going to get an entry level desktop support job

This dude has a fake associate IT degree from a shitty online degree mill with a 2.0 gpa and had no experience when he got a helpdesk job. I cut him off years ago because he borrowed 600 and took 4 years to pay it back after saying it would only take a month. He says I'm not worthy of IT because I used to use drugs and that I can never reach my goals of system admin and IT manager. He claims he is morally superior because he never used profanity or had drugs or a drop of alcohol. What should I do? does his word hold any weight? does he have the right to say who can go into IT? I'm so upset

I want to go back into my career but I have no motivation and I'm terrified to apply for jobs. it just seems like the biggest complicated problem. before I took benzos I had zero problems working. The entire time on benzos and during withdrawal I was afraid to work and had intrusive thoughts on how I'm never going to work again. it just felt so complicated and scary

I'm 2500 away from the lifetime student loan limit of 57.5k. Can I save up 6k to go to community college for a nursing degree that would only be 43 credit hours and 8k total for the entire degree and fees? I'm nervous because I never had to pay for school. I already have anatomy and microbiology with a B and an A. All I have to do is pass intro to stats and nursing concepts and I'm guaranteed a spot in the nursing program.

Is it doable, I own a house, and a car and have no kids. I have a bachelor's degree in IT and will be getting an entry level helpdesk job this fall for like 22 an hr. I want to go to community college for an associate degree in nursing beginning in fall 2028. The community college is 49 min away but their nursing program is 3 days a week. can I save this money? is all of this reasonable? am I overreacting? please reassure me that I don't have to give up on my dream for 6k!

I never felt like this before benzos and it went completely away during a big window. Why do I feel like this?
