I Can Quit Anytime I Want

Hotel offers Blackberry Detox:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - BlackBerry addicts have a crack at freedom when they check into one Chicago hotel: the manager will put the communications devices and others like them under lock and key for guests who want a break.

"I was really addicted to my BlackBerry. I had an obsession with e-mail," he told Reuters. "Morning and night. There came a time when I didn't think it was healthy ... I quit cold turkey."

The popular hand-held devices [are] sometimes called "CrackBerries" because users become so reliant on them.

So...any takers? Come on, I know most of you are attached at the hip to yours.

Here's more about the help you too can get.

I'm more concerned about Chicago Hotels offering free crack. Substituting one addiction for another is not a good idea.

PS - this is what you get when you cross post at The Blorg. Pointless commentary. Sorry, it;s in my nature.

I gave up the cell phone altogether years ago. I am a better (and less obnoxious) person for it.

OK - a better person.
