If you could travel back in time what would you tell yourself?

[Dickon]

I've recently had a recurring thought: if I could travel back in time and meet myself before drugs became the focus of my life, is there anything I could have said or done that might have prevented or changed the course of my life.

I don't really have an answer to this question or even know if there is anything I could have said (I was very sure of certain things back then) that would have changed anything. About the only feeling I'm getting is that I'd want to tell myself things about life in general, and would probably not put a great emphasis on drugs. I'd try to get at those elements of my psyche that predisposed me to use drugs, i.e. seeing drugs as a symptom and not as a cause. However, as for specifics, I really haven't much of a clue.

I was wondering if any DF members had any ideas about this, as I'd be really interested to know what you all think.

Thanks for your answers
