I read this book a couple of years ago and tbh, it's very old and very outdated. Medical knowledge of alcoholism has moved on an awful lot since it was written and quite a bit of it is very inaccurate.
Imo, if he's not drinking let him off for a while. Physically you could help him by encouraging him to keep a healthy diet at the moment. Lots of fresh food, with plenty of fruit and vegetables. As little processed food as possible, especially avoiding foods high in sugar, could be a big help to him.
Contrary to popular belief a huge amount of people do overcome drinking problems without any formal treatment. Your husband may or may not be one of those people, but if he wants to try it then I suggest giving him a bit of space and seeing if he can manage to overcome this himself.
