Well, lying about stuff isn't good. You can't put your trust in someone who lies.
That he blames you and accuses you of nitpicking isn't great either. Sounds to me, and I'm no expert, mind, that he is either drinking again or getting ready to.
To answer your question, while we are all over the place emotionally in early sobriety, no, I don't think this is normal behavior.
Using looks like using. Recovery looks like recovery.
