I think you have to give him time Livingbetter. Early recovery is a time of upheaval for us - it's probably even worse for them, especially if they don't quite understand it.
Give yourselves time to both get used to the idea

He probably has lots of emotions going on now and three days is too early to hope to see a big change.
And, ultimately whether or not he is supportive, you need to do this for you.

Great job. Its still early. Our family members are in recovery to from our addictions. My wife didn't make a big deal out of my first week. She didn't think it was special because anyone should be able to do it. They may not understand the physical and mental burden our addictions have over us. For example befI ore my quit i havent done 3 days in 15 years. Our families our still in denial of our true commitment after 3 days. We have lost their trust and need time to earn it and confidence back.
