Help!!! Need Ideas!! **LONG STORY**

This is not REALLY weight loss related, but I can make it be

My husband used to be 450lbs (6'4) so....a BIG guy! When we began dating (3 and a half years ago) he weighed in at 290lbs. I was AMAZED at his transformation! It was incredible. When I became pregnant with our twins my husband gained HIS pregnancy weight & when i delivered HE weighed in at 320. He was always sexy to me! hehe

Back story: My husband was a drinker. He was what I would call a "functional alcoholic". He could work, socialize, carry on a conversation & even those closest to him didn't realize the extent of his addiction ... except for me. I saw the worst of his addiction. They were extremely dark & scary times. Two years ago we celebrated his 26th birthday & on the same day that he was born, he nearly died. I had spent the afternoon in the salon preparing for our dinner & night out together & he was at home with our 4 month old twins. When i returned from the salon he was acting "odd" but i didn't suspect that he was drunk (he was caring for our kids). We went to dinner & he ordered 3 beers (which i believed was his first 3 of the day) and soon after he became irate, confrontational, irrational, & simply out of control. He slammed the table & screamed at me in the restaurant. We packed up our food as soon as it arrived & left. I was confused. As far as I knew he had 3 beers. I didn't understand. We continued fighting at home but I decided I was still going out with friends to celebrate as the plans were already made. He came along. We had drinks, we danced, etc. All was fine. We got home & all hell broke loose. We got to arguing and I laid out on the couch. Two hours later I went to our bedroom to check on him & that's where I found "my superman" half dead. There was my protector, someone i held so high up on a pedestal, someone i looked up to and wanted to be like, someone who could protect me from all harm and take care of me in my darkest moments ... there he was choking on his own fluids. I called 911 in a panic & was hysterical on the phone. I kept screaming into the receiver "I can't move him, he's too heavy, he's so much bigger than me" (when they were telling me to get him on his side). I was terrified and ANGRY as hell. When the paramedics arrived he was coherent enough to tell them that he had drank upwards of 36 ...yeah THIRTY-SIX beers. WTF? I had only been present for around 8? I was confused. He later confessed that in my 2 hour salon visit, he drank a case of 24. I was beyond furious, I was terrified. I had to call in family members at 4am to watch my 4 month olds while i made a hospital visit. My hospital visit was NOT to see how he was doing, or to baby him, i was furious. I'd had ENOUGH. By this point, I'd lived with his destructive behaviour & addiction for 2 years. I told him he needed to get himself straight. I got no sleep that night and had to take care of my twins all the next day. When my hubby (boyfriend at the time) got home from the hospital the next day after SIX bags of IV he was STILL throwing up all day. He walked in & I was disgusted by him. I could barely look at him. I packed up my kids & I left. I went to my mom's & spent the day there with my kids. He called me mid-afternoon still slurring & asked when I was coming home. I told him that that was NOT a "home" and that I wouldn't be coming back at all unless he sobered up completely & changed his life. I gave him an ultimatum: Alcohol or your family.

He chose his family.

He's been clean and sober for 2 years this March 18th. At that time I told him I would NEVER marry an alcoholic. Six months of sobriety later he proposed to me, i accepted. We got married this past August 7th, 2010 with him being 1 year 5 months sober. THIS is the man I love. THIS is the man I wanted to spend my life with. He's an INCREDIBLE father, an INCREDIBLE husband and an INCREDIBLE best friend. He really is my SUPERMAN!! He loves his family, and he loves us so much that he faced his addiction & went through the struggle of losing all his "friends" due to his new lifestyle etc. As he says, all he ever wanted was his family & the "friends" can go by the wayside with the drinking if they choose to.

In the first 8 months of quitting drinking my husband lost 90lbs!! (that oughta show how much he was drinking) Today my husband is alcohol free & smoke free. He weighs in at 220 @ 6'4. He looks fantastic & he couldn't be happier about his life.

Here's the thing. I want to celebrate his 2 years sober but am lost on what to get him? Anyone have any ideas? I want something special. This isn't a small deal. This is HUGE for us. His sobriety changed our entire lives (for the better) and I want to let him know that I will NEVER forget what he's done for our family.

I'm planning on writing him a letter but I'm searching for the perfect gift, any ideas??!!? I'm hoping someone has something great. I'm having brain farts, lol
