Actively pursue girls and recreational drugs more than you are.

  What horrible advice. Be yourself, and learn to be friends with women. If you want to marry just one lady for the rest of your life, you're going to have to be "just friends" with every other woman on the planet anyway. And recreational drugs? Learn to deal with life on your own without having to rely on crutches. I've seen too many people destroy their lives with drugs (including alcohol) and many more who need a hit/taste/boost/shot in order to deal with the stresses of life.

    Sobriety can be a crutch as well. If you can't trust yourself to make reasonably sane decisions when you're totally loaded, how do you know you can trust yourself when it matters? For the OP: Don't trust people who tell you drugs are bad when they haven't used them extensively. There are lots of ways to hurt yourself. I've seen plenty of people hurt themselves with drugs, but I've seen more of them hurt themselves in cars and on bikes and with crummy jobs. But don't over-do the drugs thing. And don't do drugs if you're not interested.

    I don't think you understand the original author's sentiment towards drugs. If he is telling his previous self to do them, he must have found something he enjoys in them. Judging by the average HN user, I doubt he's ruining his life with them and is instead viewing them as an alternative experience to learn rather than crutch to hide.
