Try to survive "North of 60" for one month in January. Arctic sleeping bag and enough silk parachute to make a lean-to.

Why do you need a strong will? Many people don't have them and there's nothing wrong with them at all. Just be who you are and don't try to change yourself into something that it isn't supposed to be.
Stop eating and drinking for a couple of months. I mean, you're obviously some kind of Superman, so food and water should be no big deal. Give it a try, see if that will stop you.

Seriously, though, all jokes aside...just commit yourself to something, and don't stop. Like school, for example. I don't know if you're a student, or if you've got multiple degrees, but if you need to prove yourself, then go do it and don't stop until you've got (another) degree.
Or at work, dedicate yourself to getting a promotion, and don't stop until you get it. It will probably take years, but there are few real-world, non-combat, non-sport ways to prove it aside from work, school, and relationships.
Oh, can't be that easy! In fact, you've already stated that all drunks have fatal accidents, didn't you?

No, and you know I didn't.
If you want to really show your willpower, try arguing with Baron. Trust me, my will is fucking IRON.
Yes that is what I am currently doing, trying to get a degree.
Pick something you need to do, but haven't done and do it.
Pick the next thing.
Then the next.
Keep a journal. Make a note of how hard it seemed. How many tries did it take?
Give your self 1 point for each success.
Prime ones of note - if you don't already then...
Stop smoking.
Stop drinking.
Start exercising.
Start eating right.
Start flossing.
Do your home work first.
I once went three days without eating, on a bet. Nothing but water or zero calorie drinks. So that's one thing. Exercising is a great idea. Try getting up at six am every day (rain or shine) and running. Set a goal of running in some kind of fun run or marathon by a certain date. If you have a partner. lifting weights can also be great. There's nothing like squeezing out that extra rep you didn't think you could do on pure will power. (but you need a spotter to do that, pushing yourself that far with no spotter is dangerous as hell.)
getting a job would be a good start....
Syzygy currently it is impossible time-wise. I can do it during the summer, which I did this summer actually.

I'm sure you've got a few bad habits - everyone does. So identify your bad habits, and then try and get rid of them.
Or if you have a trait that you don't particularly like about yourself, try and change it. For example, I am very shy and reserved and not much of a risk-taker. But recently I've been trying to put myself out there a lot more, take more risks, be more outgoing, be more confident, etc.

Does sciforums count as the outside world?

Yes.
People who've had husbands and others go Missing are perhaps the strongest willed people I know.
Your power of will is strong because you're doing so much in excess to prevent the opposite.
