Bash Script Quit without throwing exit

Question

hey guys I've had an issue of terminating my terminal (ssh) when exit is thrown in a script and am hoping for a way around it, here's an example

# ssh name@host
$ program

    # program contents

    #!/bin/bash
    program()
    {
        exit 0
    }

exit
Connection to host closed.
# gfd =(

this kicks me back to my local terminal, is there a way to exit/quit without losing my session?

You were sourceing the program instead of executing it, right?
