I find that to be a pretty nonsensical point of view. Your issue seems to be about purity, only "true self control" is good enough to be worthy, it's either that or complete abstinence. Why? What makes you say that the box accomplishes nothing? What's wrong with a practical solution that doesn't involve true mastery of the self? Most of us aren't Buddhist monks. If not keeping chocolate at home helps you not overindulge with chocolate consumption, what's wrong with doing that? Are you suggesting someone should only eat chocolate if they're able to keep it in their house without eating it on impulse?
