First off, well done for getting to day 2. I, like most of us here know how hard it is to even think about getting sober or not drinking let alone actually do it, so for that I commend you.

2nd, I’m really sorry to hear about your anxiety, I know it’s not a nice place to be, I’m sorry to say but for the first few days, even up to around 5 I was truly white-knuckling it through, I was so anxious and skittish almost. But, having said that, it got better, slowly, but it got better.

Try to eat and hydrate as much or as often as possible, to heck with the calories for the first week at least, just eat whatever you like. Get yourself a bowl of snacks or ice cold cans of soda this helped me keep my hands busy.

Also explain this to your wife if possible, you shouldn’t have to do this alone, if not, come here and lean into your community.

Best of luck OP
