I went to an AA meeting tonight and that made me feel better. I am trying not to be on a pity pot. This too shall pass and the important thing is to stay sober...
You shouldn't resign and let them fire you. That way you could have a change to get unemployment. When you resign you fortit the right to apply for it and they don't have to worry about it.
Looking for a job is hard these days. Just stick to it and things should get better.
