Where can I find inspirational stories of radical personal/life changes?

Question

For a presentation I'm doing, I'm looking for vivid, real stories of major life changes--for example, long-term loss of hundreds of pounds, long-term abstinence from drugs among former addicts, abandoning a hate group after being prejudiced for many years, etc.

I'm trying to make the point that radical life changes require radical new habits. I've been to the National Weight Control Registry's web site, but their featured stories don't have many details and don't make my point of "radical life change requires radical new habits" very well.

Any suggestions?

Try looking at rehabilitation programmes they quite often have helpers that have accomplished what u are asking for.
