When is moderation possible/impossible?

[TheNewMe2.0]

I made a few friends who like anime and gaming recently. I was wondering if I’d be able to moderate. 
 

like doing it every other day for an hour but honestly I feel like I’m not the moderate gaming type and the only sanity for me is abstinence.

 

Have y’all had success with moderation or only abstinence? How can you tell when it’s one or the other for you?
