You can't be diagnosed with a 'weak mind'. There is no standard for 'weak mind'. If I asked you to show me a 'weak-minded' person and explain why, you would not be able to do it. To me, the phrase 'weak-minded' is really just substituting for the word 'lazy' or 'scared'. A person CAN NOT be 'weak-minded'. If you want to do something, you do it. There IS NO physical or mental barrier stopping you. The ONLY THING that stops you is yourself.

I refuse to believe differently. No, it's not so much a 'belief'. That's a bad word. Rather, I am CONVINCED that it is not possible to be 'weak minded.' People who fight through cancer using their own willpower have convinced me of that. People who run into a burning building to save others have convinced me of that. And people who quit a physical addiction to a drug, pill or cigarette have convinced me of that. And I will not be convinced otherwise.

+20 respect points for anti.

I just don't get it. Theie argument is 'I can't quit, I'm addicted'... So what? There's nothing stopping you from not smoking, nothing but yourself. Put forth some effort and actually do something about it. Like anti said, he broke OCD with will power which is much more serious then your typical 'I can't stop, I'm addicted'. Realise you're endangering not only yourself, but everyone around you and freaking do something about it.
