I agree with Sandilee, who knows only god. I have been on heart meds for about 13 years but it very much depends on your choices

I would urge you to quit the drugs and alcohol, unless you want to die sooner. For me I would be more concerned with my eternity, as you write both lives for you are looking tragic, but you can change both!!
