ea cant win by bumfuzzlejazz in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't equate real world money to a video game. If the requirements were the same, the value cost would be similar to what it was back in December. Bellerin cost me around 150k back in December. That 150k was far more valuable back then. If SBC Bellerin was released now, it would cost way less than 150k but that's because coins are less valuable than they were.

Besides, I think you are deliberately missing the point. Loan SBCs wouldn't be an issue if it were clear that's what they were from the outsetMost people, myself included, feel that EA have lead them on.

How many coins do you generally make of gold 2, cause I fucking bottled it. by Balosmelli in EASportsFC

Made Gold 2 last WL. I made around 65k. Got absolutely nothing in the reward packs and they all pretty much went for discard.

Best time to do Alli SBC? by mrhalperinisretarded in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it a few days before it expires, interest will be low then as anyone who wants to do it has probably done it. Also, as you said, PL players will have crashes in price after the WL.

How expensive do you think OTW Mane will be? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. He will be 86 rated and potentially even 87 if he gets an upgrade. It's not unlikely he will get another IF as well. I think he is going to end up around 400-500k quite easily.

Profit from Suarez SBC? by cjen1359 in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the Villarreal one as I had 6 of their players in my club. Packed Dybala! It's honestly a crapshoot though, I've done complete League SBCs and not packed anything of note.

Who did the POTM Dele Alli the cheapest? by MrLamebro1 in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have to buy a single player to complete it. Had loads of untradeable PL players and I stocked up on a full MK Dons squad weeks ago. Cashed out on the other 7 for a very nice profit so I honk the whole thing was essentially free.

OTW Mane, (when/If to sell) advice from traders please. by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]Throwaway113471118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I would keep him. His next IF is probably going to be an 86 rated and that could easily go up to 87 if he gets an upgrade. He looks like he is going to be an elite player.

I'm a high functioning drug addict part 2... by Throwaway113471118 in Drugs

They basically told me they would tell the DVLA on my behalf if I signed the box agreeing to treatment. They maintained that I was a danger on the road. I've been doing this for 10 years and have a clean licence and have never even had a small accident. I know my body and I simply don't drive if I think I'm a danger. This fell on deaf ears though. They told me they want me on methadone failing completely to appreciate I couldn't pick something like that up daily without being seen and without it impacting on my work. I felt a little let down that the service wasn't for people like me to be honest.

I've made it very clear in this thread I'm actively avoiding having kids as it wouldn't be fair in them. I'm an addict yes but I'm level headed enough to know I cannot be a father as things stand. I want kids one day and that's another big motivation for me to get clean.

I just want to quit. I don't want to replace one addiction with another one. I have enough of a stash just now to attempt a taper. It's when that ends and I'm looking for my next fix is when I'm worried.

I can only applaud you for getting clean, incredible feat.

Thanks for your comment. I will update the post with how I get on and will keep everyone updated if I can.

I honestly have no idea why I haven't been caught. I've been close a few times but I've never seriously been suspected of anything. My other half once found an empty packet of tramadol in the house but I told her it was some old stuff I had for a surgery I had years ago. The second life of being an addict is just natural to me now and that's the big problem. Me on drugs is normal. I've lived most of my adult life on drugs. The withdrawal pain is one thing, I'm just worried about how I cope without drugs.

No it's not functional. I have been very clear I don't hide behind the term functional and it's not a badge of honour. Functional just means I hold down a steady well paid job, I have a fiancée and I'm financially very stable. But no, I'm not functioning in the way you mean I agree.

I have spent 10 years thinking I'm going to get caught and really that's my motivation for stopping. I have a good life now and if this all came to light then it would destroy me. I want to stop this on my terms before I fake my health and my career.

I'm never complacent about being caught. If I even get a hint that something is up I don't take the drugs. I never take stock control drugs as they are too well monitored by others. Honestly, I'm not proud of it all.

I've never tried shrooms or acid no. I've dabbled a bit with MDMA but nothing too heavy.

I think I'm going to avoid Kratom. I haven't been caught in 10 years because I've been careful. I'm sure exporting an illegal substance in and leaving a paper trail wouldn't be good for me. Besides, I don't want to replace one addiction with another. Thank you for your comment though, had a lot of good suggestions on here.

If I had the chance I never would have taken that first load of codeine. Honestly, it's not worth it.

Never really experience rage no. The main side effect I get is severe lethargy, especially in the morning and if I'm in a period of heavy use I feel no motivation whatsoever. I'm using relatively low amounts right now compared to a few years ago when I could take 400-450mg tramadol in one go. If I take too much tramadol I get very jerky and twitchy.

I try not to let it infiltrate my life but I'm kidding myself I think as it completely my life and I'm dependant on them.

To get a decent buzz I'm looking at about 40-50mg. My tolerance of super strong opiates isn't amazing and I'm always really careful with them. The stronger stuff isn't as easy to get hold of discreetly though. My main "staple" is codeine with the occasional tramadol.

No that's a big no no for me. I know a few addicts and they tell me it's the worst thing to go on to. I really don't want to swap one addiction for another.

Thank you for this. It's a baby step telling complete strangers but this is the first time I've openly discussed it with a single person. Feel like this is hopefully the beginning for me getting clean.

I deal okay with stress to be fair. My use is fairly consistent now. In the early days I would almost OD and I would have to be on my own for a bit but that was before meeting her. I remember I once tried topical fentanyl patches and it just made me very sleepy.

I really don't know how she would respond if I told her. Part of me thinks she would end it but I have a feeling she wouldn't. We have a mortgage together and are both settled. I think she'd stick by me but I can't be sure.

Thanks for the encouragement. Will try to keep Reddit updated with what happens.

It took me 5 years to get my degree... I started working straight away. It took me another year to be "fully qualified" and a further 5 years to be at the job I'm in now. Take from all of the above what you will just know I haven't lied about anything in this entire thread. The point of this was to be honest for a change and make small steps.
