This is exactly how I came to learn about AVRT. I had already quit via some Buddhist readings re: separation, not grasping, choice, and the mastering of the mind. I compare AVRT to some of the tenets found in Buddhism a lot, which some AVRT purists don't care for, but I do so mainly to highlight the point that AVRT is not new. It's similar to what folks have done for thousands of years in dealing with the consequences of blindly following desire.
