If you’ve got a BlackBerry – and a problem – a Chicago hotel is offering help.

Check into the Sheraton Chicago and general manager Rick Ueno will keep your CrackBerry in the hotel safe to help you beat your addiction. And Ueno knows of which he speaks:

“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.”

His “one-step recovery” was switching to a plain ‘ol cell phone. Is that like switching from high-tar to low-tar cigarettes?
