Some people require abstinence and even total social avoidance to fight addiction. Some people need moderation.

There isn't a one size fits all, and I don't think advocating for OP to give in when they've got a long history of unhealthy behavior is wise -- at least, it's unwise unless you know a lot more about OP.

It may not be wise, but it’s true.

I only know what OP wrote. And my money is that they will play.

The point of my comment was to help OP develop a long term strategy to help with their issue.

It’s no more one size fits all then “I’m never going to play this game.” It’s just one idea that may or may not work.

That being said, I’ll bet you $50 that OP plays BG3 within six months.

I'd take that bet, will give me more motivation to prove you wrong ;)

Neat. I always wanted to make a HN bet. I don’t see your contact info in your profile, so please email me some contact at [e-mail] and I’ll connect with you in six months to settle.

Betting on someone else's mental health seems fucked up.

Agreed. It's best to see a professional on the best approach for one to take with regards to controlling addictions. It's hard to have an unbiased perspective of your behaviour when you're under the spell.
