Lived experience, with clear boundaries

I’m Albert. I’m the person behind ALO.

I smoked joints for more than 30 years. It took me a long time to look closely at a relationship that seemed perfectly functional from the outside. ALO comes from knowing that negotiation from the inside — and wanting to leave you a little better prepared for tomorrow.

“Helping you arrive before autopilot does — without turning your life into a file.”

I speak from the inside

Thirty years teach you a few excuses.

I smoked while I worked, looked after a family and lived a fairly ordinary life. That is precisely why it took me so long to look at something that did not seem dramatic, but was deciding more and more things before I did.

I know the reward joint, the sofa with all its arguments and that “last night” that repeats itself with surprising ease.

How I use that experience

Recognize the scene. Never measure someone against my story.

ALO turns an everyday scene into one small action: preparing for the moment you arrive home, postponing a decision for ten minutes or looking at what happened before you smoked.

My experience helps me recognize the ground. It does not allow me to diagnose you or tell you what your life should look like.

The name

My editorial name is Albert Miraflor.

It is the name I use to sign ALO and my books. It is not there to create a mystery; it protects part of my private life.

Legal responsibility is not hidden. Albert Ariza appears where it should: in the legal notice, terms, privacy information and billing.

What I’m not

I’m not a doctor or a psychologist or a therapist.

ALO provides educational and behavioral support. It is not treatment. When it is not enough, I say so and leave room for more appropriate help.

Health sources are selected and reviewed using public criteria: prioritize original research and systematic reviews, distinguish association from causation and never turn group figures into individual promises. See how we review the evidence →

What you can expect

A human response. No theater.

You can tell me which moment is difficult, what you tried or what didn’t help. I read what you choose to send, and we look for a next step.

The daily emails are prepared in advance. If you reply, I write back within one working day: Monday to Friday, 10:00–18:00 Paris time. If I don’t know something, I’ll tell you that too.

Why does it exist?

Because knowing something is not good for you is not always enough.

Sometimes you need to know what to do at the exact moment you arrive home. ALO offers 21 days to look with less noise. Then you decide.
