This book named “I Get High Watching Paint Dry” is dedicated to young people who had to raise themselves into adulthood and to those who are recovering from substance abuse. Your previous existence may manifest itself if you have been experiencing feelings of déjà vu or an inexplicable kinship with something from another dimension network working totally for your destruction. Gregory Newson’s memoir, I Get High Watching Paint Dry, is a nonfiction probe into a substance abuse survivor’s life. Newson explores the tragedies associated with childhood trauma, severe addiction, wasted potential, and a young person’s dreams deferred, and how they can all be intertwined, particularly without parental or professional intervention.

In the same way that you rooted for Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, when he spoke his famous lines, “You don’t understand. I coulda’ had class. I coulda’ been a contender,” you’ll root for Newson as he survives on the streets of Harlem, New York while weaving in and out of substance abuse and many tragedies, but always with a particular prayer—to HEAL. With brutal honesty, Newson writes how he started his heart-wrenching journey of being conceived from statutory rape moves through DNA trauma, sibling rivalry, shame, self-loathing, poverty, drug abuse, incarceration, fighting his own internal civil war while dealing with his calling to be an artist and his past self-enslavement mentality.

Gregory hopes to help parents, teachers, and others who influence young people to be alert and help the young people develop their God-given natural high, talent, and purpose—which can sometimes be enough to help discourage starting the insidious path of drug and alcohol abuse—which Newson refers to as “the lost cause.”
