Hi BHCHAMBERS.

Thank you for putting up your problem to Healthcare Magic!

The use of morphine for every pain or tiredness falls in the category of drug abuse, this is a prescription drug and needs a judicious use through a physician consult.
You may develop addiction anytime if you continue to consume it at your discretion.
I would suggest to use some other over the counter pain killer like paracetamol, ibuprofen etc. on as required basis.
I hope this information would be both informative and helpful for you
