Trying to help a friend get off Xanax. I’ve never tried any pills so I have I idea where to start.
Feedback: I really appreciate the feedback. I did not know how crazy that stuff is. I will try my best on my side to help him.

True that.
Hitting the precipice is not a cliche. As a recovering alcoholic it took getting to the point of losing everything before I snapped and did a 180. (by everything, I mean EVERYTHING)
Don't discount tough love when helping an addict either. If you are only telling them, "it's gonna be okay" or the like it aint helping.
Personally, I knew I couldn't do it alone and at that point I had no one in my life to turn to. That's when I turned to Jesus and asked for divine intervention. The Holy Spirit came over me instantly from head to toe. It was exhilarating to say the least and i asked to no longer have the desire to drink. From that point forward I can honestly say that I have zero desire for anything mind altering.
It wasn't easy though. I had to immediately change my lifestyle. The desire was no longer there, but the daily habits had to be broken.
I know it's not a lot of impact from a stranger, but I really am proud of you for this.
This is exactly the way to do it, and it isn't easy. I can't say I know a lot of addicts, but the ones I do know whove succeeded ONLY made it with a relationship with Christ.
Keep it up.
