I cold-turkey quit multiplayer games in my late 20s because I just can't control myself. I think it's the only real option in this case. Ideally you can find other things that bring you fulfillment which is easier said than done. I discovered that I could completely ween off gaming and Netflix by cycling between audiobooks and podcasts while I go for a walk or run. Sometimes I'll be gone for hours, and I'm quite happy with the habit because every part of it works towards my goals in life: learning new things and staying in shape. Meanwhile gaming worked against all my life ambitions: sitting for hours, credentializing in a system that brings me no lasting fulfillment. Your post reminds me of what I went through when I decided to quit multiplayer gaming. After a few months I started asking myself if I could just do it a little bit instead of letting it consume me. But I think it was just my addicted side trying to justify giving it another shot. You might be doing that here. Good luck.
