You should look up that famous guy from Florida, his name escapes me right now but my grandfather brought me to see him. He used to catch every snake on the planet and milked the snakes to make antivenoms for everyone on the planet. I'm glad I got to see him, he got nailed by pretty much every venomous snake on the planet. He was quicker than most but nobody is 100%, one has to know that you're gonna get nailed doing that.

It's amazing though, he saved more lives than a lot of people know about.
I think his name was Bill Haast.

>the left is better because it looks simpler
Ok retard. How do you know that whatever the fuck these pictures are even of show a degradation? The right side is probably an evolved form of whatever it is and better than the left.

just got done with 2 months of sobriety
wasn't really worth anything, not sure why im still alive.

Lemme tell ya /calvinklein/, coffeeniggers are the worst subhumans to ever be shat out into civilization..

Coffeeniggers are the worst thing to ever happen to this Earth. I see so many of these faggots at university, holy fucking shit, pretending their stupid habit is some life-threatening addiction, unable to use their pea sized brains until they drink that hot Satan jizz. These Pavlov dog motherfuckers need to be put down.

>>11457142
It's an x-ray of a brain, dumbshit.

>>11457199
So you post about them at university yourself because you consider them to be retards. What precise university are you in and is it an accredited one or one from haiti, like voodoo shit?
Idiots such as you are never specific and always fuckup, always. Degree or not.

>>11457202
And you got paid how much for that evaluation?

Let me ask you something OP. What exactly are the left and right pictures showing? Why is the left one bad and the right one good? Explain it to me.

>Daniel G. Amen, M.D., runs the Amen Clinics, writes books, gives lectures, maintains a Web site, and makes other media appearances.
>He claims to use SPECT to "re-balance a brain whose activity patterns are clearly abnormal.” He describes SPECT as a "window into the hardware of the soul."
>SPECT creates a colored picture representing blood flow or chemical reactions in different areas of the brain. It requires the injection of a radioactive material. Areas of low blood flow show up as apparent “holes” on colored pictures of the brain, giving a moth-eaten appearance.
>Dr. Amen says that this kind of graphic demonstration can help persuade patients that their problem is physical or physiological and might be helped with medication or other treatments.
>The Amen Clinics charge $3,250 for a "comprehensive evaluation," which included the patient's history, two SPECT scans (concentration scan and baseline scan), a physician consultation, and a 30-minute treatment follow-up appointment. Follow-up scans after treatment are $795 each.

>caffeine AND nicotine

hmm I don't think this is how you're supposed do science

>>11458817
It's not science. It's Dr. Amen, a well known scam artist who uses outdated brain scans to make ridiculous claims that every major medical organization in existence has called out as bullshit. He also charges idiots who fall for his ruse thousands of dollars per session to receive a meaningless SPECT blood flow image of their brain along with an astrology style write-up of the problems they allegedly have and how to "re-balance" their brains with "supplements, neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy." Basically you're a gullible retard if you're persuaded by random images involving the brain to believe what scam artists like him want you to.

>let's substitute an alcohol addiction for a group think cult addiction
Sure, that will work.

>>11460430
Not sure what’s up with /ck/‘s recently developed abhorrence of AAA. Are we really that triggered by a bunch of Christians using their shared beliefs to encourage each other to overcome their addictions? A group of people who believe the same thing =/= groupthink.

>>11457030
We live in a world where we have to drink caffeine
There's no such thing as 'purity'
The thing we need to learn is moderation.

>>11460475
yeah but those programs are literally unironically cults
you brainwashed cultist

>>11460500
Physical bull shit. It’s not true that “everybody drinks coffee.” Plenty of hardworking and successful people function perfectly well without it. Those who “need” it are weak and/ or addicts

>>11460518
So hardworking and successful you're trying to convince people on 4chan how much you are, right?

>AA is xtian
It's specifically stated in the charter that it is unaffiliated with any specific religion and in fact group prosletyzing can result in elimination of the AA accreditation. The only requirement is that you accept a higher power, which Bill W. the founder said could very well be a door knob if you like.

>>11460578
No need to nitpick about sects, if it requires religion its illegitimate

>>11457030
>not having room to retract your eyeballs into your brain
get a load of this guy

>>11460475
The real problem with AA is that it's incredibly ineffective and takes up a cultural space that could be filled by more effective therapies.

>>11457113
Someone taught you to write, and this is what you did with it? I do not blame you, as you are not right. I blame them. They should have seen this in you and not only NEVER taught you anything, they should have smothered you in your crib. It is not your fault anon, but you got to go. You know this. Be a hero and take yourself out.

>>11457413
I should've known it was Amen, that guy is such a fucking idiot. Him and his wife are snakes.

>>11460578
It states that you have to believe in a higher power (religion) and whats the most available in the west? The zombie jew one!
Its like saying you have to drink soda with your meals but it doesnt have to be Coke, although its the only brand available in the block.

>>11462986
>higher power = religion
Nope. In fact, most atheists in AA just accept the group as their higher power which makes a lot of sense. I will grant you, the 12 steps are a practical application of christian ethics, but professing religioun is in no way a requirement for AA participation.

>>11462986
Availability is irrelevant. You can pick literally anything you choose.

>>11462661

Says the blood drinker

LOL

Just give up flesh why dont ya

if you arent addicted

>wanting to live beyond 50

why

>>11457142
They're called functional holes; areas where there is no neural activity. It means you're literally brain dead, at least partially.

Imagine poisoning your mind with facebook pseudoscience every day

The damage is clearly not reversible, no point in stopping now.

I will drink an iced mocha now.

>>11462504
>Implies it's the caffeine responsible
Responsible for what? Reminder that OP's picture is meaningless outdated bullshit imaging known scam artist Dr. Amen produced to help lure more idiots into his $3,000 'brain re-balancing' sessions.

Gotta love those religious types.

>>11460475
It's a money grabbing cult that doesn't actually help you quit, it just has you blame something else for your addiction.
Best way to quit drinking is to just fucking stop being a baby and just stopping.

That's pseudoscience based on a very rough model based constructed from an MRA, conducted by known huckster, Daniel Amen. Exercise would have the same effect on cerebral blood flow if you were to take an MRA immediately after it.
Caffeine and Nicotine actually increase mental performance and decrease ones chance of developing parkinson's disease. There is evidence to suggest these two agents play considerable role in ameliorating age-related cognitive decline. There is still a net benefit even after tolerance is incurred relative to baseline.
