I think it's a tendency to confuse the "tremens" in delirium tremens with "tremors." Tremors are relatively common and not dangerous in/of themselves (though any signs of withdrawal indicate the physical dependency is progressing). DTs involve hallucinations, potentially seizures, etc. It's possible to die from DTs.

Ask how I could help. Verbally express encouragement and support. Tell him that I think he's on a good path. All the stuff that I would do for a friend who was trying and struggling, but will not do for an alcoholic ex-husband who shows no sign that he really grasps how much damage his drinking is doing or that he is willing to stop drinking, despite having access to a whole world of recovery resources.
