I second brother Hamza advice!
There is nothing called a perfect person in this life. We all sin, there is no one who don't sin or is free from mistake. Why do you think that Allah name himself the forgiver? how can he be forgiver if there is no sin to forgive?
Achieve something noble like Dawah will be good for us, because we are trying to help people avoid what we fell into. We are trying to advise people to not make the same sin or mistake we did before. If normal life is not a path of roses then how about the life of struggling for the sake of Allah. Do you think that Shaytan will leave you alone to do noble things like Dawah or reading Quran or whatever you might do to be a better Muslim? of course not, he will see what can depress you and distract you from achieving your noble goals and then he will come to you from that door.
Its not you who decide whether you will be benefit to the Ummah. Dawah is not all about long lectures or articles. The prophet (peace be upon him) said: "convey from me even if it be one ayah" you might offer something you think is very small or trivial but it can a reason for someone else to repent and be guided again to the true path.
Just be strong and as the above post said...its you who is in control.
May Allah keep us all steadfast in the right path.
