No, you are.

The best thing to do is get some baby nappies (seriously), pull all the padding out, soak it overnight in orange juice - it will go all bloated and spongey - then stuff it bit by bit into your mouth and nose and ears and pants.

Good luck. Don't think of it as a weakness. Think of it as a choice.
