NEW YORK, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- New York comic Amy Borkowsky admitted Tuesday giving up her cell phone for nearly two months has been one of the hardest things she's ever done.
Borkowsky has chronicled the trials and tribulations of maintaining her two-month-long vow of "cellibacy," which ends Saturday, in the blog AmysCellphone.com
"At first it was like my phone had been amputated, and I was getting phantom sensations," Borkowsky said in a statement, adding it took 11 days for her hand to quit reaching toward the backpack compartment where she kept her cell.
The comic still has her land line and said she sometimes worries about leaving the house and missing a call.
Borkowsky said her experiment was motivated by quality of life issues surrounding cell phone use.
"My face practically had a tan line in the shape of the VX8300," she quipped.
Borkowsky said she wondered what people miss by sacrificing face time for phone time and also cited possible health consequences of heavy cell phone use as driving her to go cell-free.
