i have done hard core drugs all my life and walked away cold turkey from each type. i had a motorcycle wreck a week ago and i am worried about becoming addicted to pain pills though. because of past experiances with them. during rec. usages i did maybe 60 to 70 mgs. a day. i am one week into recovery from the wreck with possible surgery later.

what mgs. usage number should i start paying attention to that would start making a doctor worry.

im forcing myself to not go over 40 a day. most days are 30mgs.

Were you clean and sober before this accident to begin with? Unclear from your post.

I'm not sure about the mgs but you could possibly ask your doctor to give you something that isn't so notorious for addiction. Even you tell your doctor that you have had a past addiction and these are your worries. It's already a clear step that you are conscious of this happening and interested in what you can do to prevent it. Good Luck with your recovery and your sobriety.
