Cyril M. Scovens helps people and the programs that serve them do recovery in real life. Thirty years clean, he brings plain talk and practical systems to messy situations, turning “try harder” into simple, repeatable steps that actually help.

His work centers dignity: clients as human beings, not case numbers. In his memoir Why Am I Here? Cyril traces how a childhood of violence gave way to honesty, boundaries, and daily discipline, and how that same approach now shapes his consulting, writing, and speaking.
