Posted by: NN - Posted date: 2008-05-28I used to car-pool with one of my work colleague. We talked different things during our daily trip to-and-from work place. I told him about MEL. Sometimes, I transferred the energy to him when he did not feel well. There was a morning I noticed he was not feeling very well (sneezing). About fifteen minutes later, we reached the company parking lot and stepped out of the car. He turned around and said “thank you”. I asked for what. He said “you know what I mean”. He was also a heavy smoker. One day, he asked me if I can help him stop smoking. I told him I see the instructions in my course note and never try it before. I also told him the instructions say the smoker has to be willing to quit. After that date, we had never gone back to talk about it for couple months. Suddenly, one morning he showed me a pack of cigarette and told me this will be his last pack. He took out one cigarette and placed it into one of the drawers in his car. He said this would be the one I could use to help him stop smoking (because based on the instructions, I need a cigarette during the treatment). After that morning, I had not seen him for about two weeks because I took two-weeks vacation from work. On the first morning I met him after my vacation, he showed me the cigarette and said he still saved it and waited for me back. At that moment, I knew he was really and ready to quit. I followed the instructions and helped him that day. It worked and even he tried to tell a few co-workers about the story.
