It's such a shame, IMO, that health care providers don't seek treatment because of the stigma and consequences. And so here we have a nurse, with a good reputation, who is at home with her medically clueless husband going through alcohol withdrawal, which is potentially fatal. (sorry, don't mean to be mean, just giving a reality check...)
Before you get p1ssed, I am in health care and understand, perhaps more than you know..... and my commentary is not about your post or you....
You can probably do it... but you won't get instructions here. Sorry, we can't give advice....
The other thing I'd ask you to consider.... Should this be your role here? Monitoring her alcohol intake and withdrawal symptoms? Being this involved. Be her husband and love her. She needs to find her own recovery, and you can help her do that, but not this way.
You sound like a good man and someone who loves his wife very much. Welcome to SR.
