Listen up, Lindsay Lohan.

While Charlie Sheen thinks you need to work on your  "impulse control," you may want to take some advice from Christian Slater instead.

The 41-year-old Heathers star is opening up in the latest issue of Details magazine about his own history of alcohol and drug abuse.

So what's he saying about LiLo? Read on to find out...

"Addiction is not pretty, and you don't fully understand it unless you're dealing with it head-on," Slater, who's five years sober now, tells the mag. "That's why when I see other kids struggling, I will sometimes reach out to them—a call or an e-mail."

So does that mean he's reached out to the Mean Girls star?

"Sure, of course," Slater says when asked about Lohan. "I appreciated the people who reached out to me. It's a brutal position to be in. You feel alone and confused over where your life went and how you got yourself in this situation... Addiction is a killer. And it takes so much to recognize the problem."

Well said, Mr. Slater.
