I recently applied to the Content Designer, 2023 Graduate remote role at Atlassian and I'd appreciate it if I could get a referral.
Here are some details to aid in your decision-making:
- Last summer, I worked at Google as a UX Content Design Intern.
- I am currently in a grad program at
NYU and will graduate in Spring 2023.
- Before graduate school, I spent 3+ years as a Copywriter in Advertising.
I'd really appreciate any recommendation I can get at this time.

I wrote about some problems I had with alcohol once, I wasn't sure if I was an alcoholic, then one of the people in the room laughed and said, how many non alcoholics do you think write about their problems with alcohol. I got a sponsor that night, been sober ever since.
Well do you want to stop drinking? That’s the only requirement for AA.
Not to be harsh, but if you think it's a problem, it probably is. People don't typically walk into AA when their lives are peachy. Only you can determine if you're an alcoholic. But I can tell you this -- my career, my creativity and my entire life improved tenfold when I got sober. If you want to achieve that through not drinking, we're always here.
I’m in AA but I have also gone to refuge recovery. There’s a lot of options out there! And as SAE said, “the only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking."
You can absolutely go to AA if you feel uncomfortable with your relationship with alcohol, and check out SMART Recovery, as well. I also found the message board and chat room on soberrecovery.com to be extremely helpful when I was just coming to terms with my drinking and the realization that it needed to stop.
Problematic drinking means something different to everyone. Some people truly do need to hit rock bottom to get better, others put a stop to it before they’ve encountered any significant consequences at all. If you are worried about your drinking, you’ll be welcome in any recovery group. 🙂
Thx!

Look up Naltrexone and use it through the Sinclair Method. (It's a medicine that actually works). There is a documentary called One Little Pill (you can find it on Amazon Prime Video) watch it, it's legit and it works!
