His wife accidently found a pack of cigaretts in school-bag of their 16 years old son.He told her not to panic and keep that packet wherever she found. He calmly told her that he will deal with this situation alone with their son in his own way without causing any friction.

When he was alone with his son, he told his own story of alchol addiction which got into young age and how he and his parents suffered due to it. He also told him about how his grandfather shown him a path of recovery by taking him to meetings of Alcohoic Anonymus (AA) and how he used to wait for him outside the meeting rooms to take him back home during his intial days of recovery.He admitted that he still consider himself as recovering alcoholic hence actively dedicated himself to carry the cause and message of AA to the people who are suffering from decease of alcoholism.

Later he sinply told him that if he would ever find himself in such precarious situation then he would be always there for him to support as a father but also as a friend.

Without a word, his son brought out a pack of cigarettes to him and admitted that he made a mistake of smoking under peer pressure and promised him would never such mistake again and threw that packet into dustbin. He too assured him that he wont say a single word of it to his mom or remind him about it in future.

He then took his son into his arms and gave him a tight bear hug like he used to give him when he used to be a kid.
