lost my job
Yesterday I got a really bad performance review at my new job I honestly felt like I couldn't improve in a weeks time I had tried my best and wasn't a good fit for the job. So I quit in the middle of my shift. After that I never once thought of drinking at all. My first thought was I need to make an amends and call my sponsor and other women in the program. So I made an amends to my manager this morning I didn't ask for my job back. I could have handled things differently. So now I am getting my resume ready again and going to do some job searching. Im ashamed of the way I acted I never thought I would do something like that.

Yeah sugarbear is right holding out for unemployement is the best bet. But I know the drill. I've quit on the spot at jobs before. and I've walked off the job a couple times in all our rage. I wont lie walking off the job has an element o satisfaction to it 
but its really not the brightest thing to do. But think about it they can fire you on the spot but its not ok for you to quit on the spot?
I wouldnt beat yourself up over it too much. There is only so much one person can take sometimes. You do your best thats all that matters.
Kudos on not drinking. I caught myself scoping out the beer prices yest on the signs out front of the beer shop. I started getting ideas too I wont lie *sigh* But I said no and drove away.
My job situation is not to hot either myself these days. Sometimes all you can do is just plug along.

I say it as I've been terminated more than once in sobriety and each "new" employment was better than the last one, although that unemployment insurance sure helped me pay some bills.

It doesn't seem like they would fire you, just letting your know your progress during your probationary period. You've only been there 3 weeks so you wouldn't have been eligible for unemployment insurance anyways. Get that resume ready and find something that you are a good fit for and makes you happy.
