I don't think you have anything to worry about then if you're even taking Advil instead when the pain isn't as intense. That's a good sign.

I'm much like Allan. Even with my psych. meds, like my seroquel, I know I could easily take more and end up on a trip (have in the past), but I stick to what my doctor says because sobriety means more to me. In active addiction, we don't switch pain pills for Advil. We take the whole dang bottle of pain pills within a matter of days because that's how addiction works... One pill, one drink, one hit of dope is too many and 1,000 never enough. We often times cover our addiction with lies that even we believe, which is called DENIAL, a good saying for denial is Don't Even Know I'm Lieing... Which you don't seem to be doing. So I think you're safe.
