I'm fairly confident in my ability to get back in the same routine I had in my 20s and take myself off of it, but if staying on it is what it takes for me to remain fit and eating well, then sure. I don't mind giving myself an injection twice a week in exchange for good health.

If not needing it makes you feel superior, I'm glad you've found a source of self validation.

Imagine your reaction if smokers were to make the same point and voila, this is how ridiculous it sounds.

I don't begrudge smokers any of the tools they have their disposal for cessation. So yes, they're certainly welcome to make the same point. If using nicotine patches or gum indefinitely is what it takes someone to stop smoking cigarettes, then sure, go for it. It's a hell of a lot less harmful than continuing to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day.

It's quite obvious that you think anyone who is incapable of just willpowering through things is lesser for it. And that's fine - you're allowed to hold whatever opinion you want. Thankfully, neither of us are forced to interact with each other in any real manner.
