I was in a similar situation in my last job. I struggled also, because like you God had delivered me out of all those things too. Anyway, it was difficult, but I found that praying for my coworkers, everyday by name, really gave a compassionate heart for them. But for the grace of God I would be doing the same things, so I had nothing to be proud about.
After a while, the strangest thing happened. I became something like the company pastor. I was strange, people would come to my office for prayer or for spiritual advise, even for evangelism.
I was called on by the president of the company once to pray at a meeting of more than 200 managers from operations all over the world. It was awesome. It was humbling. It was one of the best ministries I have ever been involved with.
Your work is your mission field. Your ministry there is as important as any ministry anyplace in the world. Like Violet said, just be yourself, but let them see that Jesus is the reason you are different and they will begin to want what you have.
I am praying that God will gift you and direct you in the ministry He has called you to!
