Too much or not enough?

I'm wondering.....I'm not exactly sure yet how I am suppose to be supportive but not get in the way of my husband's recovery from addiction. It's only been a couple of weeks so I obviously don't want to get too excited but I am proud of him for making it through the worst of the physical withdrawals. I don't talk about it everyday but every now and again I will tell him he looks better or that I am glad he feels better. Sometimes I share an inspirational quote or Bible verse with him or try to encourage him by mentioning something positive that has, will, or might come out of this. This being the two week mark, I thought I might tell him I'm proud of him. I have read 'hands off the addict' and 'this is his recovery' but I do want to be supportive. Advice?
