I would consider that to be entirely subjective. Unless that was intended as a joke, in which case they're all clearly as bad as each other & cricket is a much superior sport
But the question revolved around, or at least I took it as, how does one determine which of the 'methods' of recovery is best. I was trying to point out that abstinence isn't a 'method ' and the idea that one can't just start 'practicing' it without following a structured program to instill and maintain some set of required skills or practices that somehow imbue the follower with abilities to remain abstinent that were not present in the individual prior to the adherence of said method , is AV.
AVRT is quitting, quitting is AVRT, anyone who ever quit 'uses' AVRT, they have a Big Plan, with or without the nomenclature.
the original question didn't mention recovery at all.
