Kadian is time released morphine with no other added ingredients. You could take it indefinitely by itself (no Tylenol, ibuprofen or alcohol) without damaging your liver although you would become medically dependent on taking this medicine each day. If you are mixing the Kadian with any of the above, then liver damage would be dose dependent with alcohol and Tylenol causing damage to your liver quicker and ibuprofen causing damage to your stomach or kidneys quicker. Despite the propaganda, medical morphine taken by itself in prescribed dosages does not cause organ damage.
If your Dr prescribed the Kadian and you feel you need it to get by, then take it as directed and get on with your life. Remember that the medicine will mask your pain so you could easily injure yourself further by doing strenuous lifting with an injured back, so be careful.
