All you've shown is that you have to power to want to condition yourself not
to do something.  That happens to be great, and one of the best and most useful
things about being human.  I wouldn't call it "free will" though.  The fact
that it took time to squelch the desires and recondition yourself proves my
point:  you cannot simply will a desire (!) into or out of existence.
