I think that they don't go after people because they know that the fact that they left means that there is something wrong. They don't want anyone to speak out about what is considered wrong, so letting them go as if a cancer that has been cut off is preferred.
In other words, you have to be willing to at least try to hang on while suffering in silence. If you are actually thinking that it is beyond sticking around for, it is better that you just go.
I got 1 phone call after I left. My wife and I had been sporadic for a while, so in hind sight I think when the gap got bigger it was just an encouragement to get back to a meeting. But we had already been to meetings.

I didn't even tell them that. But no more phone calls.
