Absolutely - I agree 100%.
And for some people (myself included), they may wonder if they CAN quit poker, or if they have a "problem." And I think the one month off test is the best way to find out. After a week, you'll know if you're going to be ok, but I think it's important to stick to whatever deadline you set, and not rationalize an early return. Poker will always be there. It's not going to be gone in a month. Take some time off, focus on other parts of your life, and come back fresh.
