There is a popular song out on the radio that goes a little like this “they tryin to make me go to rehab, I said no no no”.

Well, it finally occurred to me that I may need to go to rehab. For what you ask? Email. Like many Americans I am always connected to my emails via a blackberry.  In fact, according to AOL’s 3rd annual “Email Addicition” surveymore and more Americans use a cell phones or PDA’s to keep tabs on their email. The survey states that of all email users surveyed 59% of them use a portable device to view their emails.

The survey also states that 15% of Americans claim that they are addicted to email. The questions remains, are you?

To help you out with this question I have come up with 5 reason why you may be addicted to email.

5. You have more than 3 different email address programed into your PDA or cell phone.

4. Bathroom trips have become longer in duration because you spend much of the time responding to email.

3. You check your email 5 or more times a day via your portable device.

2. When hearing the email notification on your phone or PDA you can not hold out longer than 60 seconds before you check your email.

1. Your portable device is closer to you than your wife when sleeping at night.

Are you addicted to email?
