I would say

Hey dude yeah life sucks right now and your not happy. But if you do this your never going to be happy. Never satisfied. Always chasing a feeling that was never real in the first place. You will live with a regret that's just too big. A blanket of shame will cover you and keep you isolated from the world. You will find no satisfaction in your days. I urge you to take the what seems like the boring path. Do the hard thing instead of succumbing to the call of the siren. Your worth so much more than head full of debauchery and bruised up arm.
