I just created a new environment with AWS and uploaded a .zip file into elastic beanstalk. I used to have a friend's server host my site instead of GoDaddy so I changed my custom DNS name servers from pointing to my friend's server to GoDaddy's. AWS told me that I need I need to add a CNAME record on GoDaddy and I did.
The alias is lance and the host is lance-env.elasticbeanstalk.com. I know that this change can take 24-48 hours to take effect but it's been a day already and when I go to my site, a default page from GoDaddy appears. I'm very new to AWS and would just like to find a way for AWS to host my site other than using Route53.

It does not appear that your DNS settings are correct.
$ ping twitterrecovery.com
ping: unknown host twitterrecovery.com
$ dig twitterrecovery.com

No CNAME record has actually been in your domain records.
Unless you use a www subdoman, you are going to have problems when not using route53. If you set your root domain to a CNAME, email at your domain name will stop working. You can either:
Put the CNAME on the www subdomain
OR, use route53 which is the only DNS provider that I know that allows "alias" records. It basically allows you to specify a CNAME, but queries it server side and returns an A record.
