When you leave a church or "ministry" which is not an addiction it's quite easy. You just move on to another place. Keep the same friends. Add some new ones. No big deal. If addiction is involved the leaving process is a slow and painful withdrawal which takes years to overcome if it can be overcome at all. It appears for most who left the LCS it was a painful and slow process and rehab was/is difficult. Some even admit that they did not know how they would go on after they left: not go on without the Lord but go on without Lee and his group.

Leeaholism is heart wrenching to watch but it makes me happy to see many on this site facing it. Better to admit the problem and start recovery than to stay lost in the hazy stupor of addiction.
