Can you share some modern day conversion stories that inspire people?

One every day conversion story could be about a person who used to be a heavy smoker. Every day, they were consuming a pack of cigarettes. But then, they decided to convert to a healthier lifestyle. They started by gradually reducing the number of cigarettes each day. Eventually, they completely quit smoking and converted their daily habit to going for a jog instead.

There are also conversion stories in the religious realm. For example, a person who was an atheist might have had a series of profound life experiences. Maybe they witnessed an act of great kindness from a religious community during a difficult time in their life. This led them to study the teachings of that religion further and eventually convert. They may find a new sense of purpose and community within their new religious family.
