If you have ever belonged to a cult, how did you get out?

Here’s one definition of a destructive cult.

If you have ever been a member of an organization of this sort, what did it take to extract you? Did you come to your own understanding, or were you subjected to an intervention? Did you escape, or were you rescued? Are you still pursued? Are you afraid?

Looking back, do you see any good in it?

This question is a spinoff from this one.
