When you are presenting in front of an audience, you are performing as an actor is on stage. How you are being perceived is very important. Dress appropriately for the occasion. Be solemn if your topic is serious. Present the desired image to your audience. Look pleasant, enthusiastic, confident, proud, but not arrogant. Remain calm. Appear relaxed, even if you feel nervous. Speak slowly, enunciate clearly, and show appropriate emotion and feeling relating to your topic. |

Many (if not most) people with addictive disorders crave excitement, and feel a need to live on the edge all the time - even after they have entered into recovery. In fact, many treatment professionals believe that learning to live without constantly kicking our adrenalin into overdrive can be as great a challenge for people in recovery as learning to live without alcohol or drugs. |
