Real talk about real recovery. New videos every week — raw, honest, and designed to give you exactly what you need to take the next step.
Every video is designed to give you something practical, honest, and rooted in real experience — in five minutes or less.
The first days, weeks, and months are the hardest. Alan walks through what early recovery actually looks like — the mess, the hope, and the tools that work.
How to rewire your thinking, break old patterns, and build the mental foundation that sobriety requires. Practical, not preachy.
Alan shares how his faith has been central to his recovery journey — and explores the spiritual dimensions of getting and staying sober.
Sobriety opens the door to financial recovery too. Alan covers budgeting, goal-setting, and building real wealth from the ground up.
The people around us are often the ones most affected by addiction. Alan talks honestly about rebuilding trust, repairing relationships, and showing up differently.
Sobriety is the beginning, not the end. What does a truly abundant, purpose-driven life look like beyond just not drinking or using? Alan explores this every week.
Every video on the 5 Minutes of Recovery channel is built around a single, simple principle: give the viewer something real that they can actually use today. No rambling. No fluff. No performance.
Alan shows up as himself — a real person in real recovery — and talks about what's actually working, what's hard, and what the research, community, and his lived experience say about it.
"I don't care about going viral. I care about that one person who finds this channel at 2am and needs to hear that it gets better."
— Alan T.
