I'm not going to tell you to pray, or that weed will make you crazy, or that you're a bad person for smoking, or any of the the other health class nonsense. I've seen alcohol destroy way more lives than weed. I don't smoke, I quit about 7 years ago. Some people smoke and it's fine for them, but if you think it's time for you to quit, you're probably right. Best of luck, just don't lose sight of why you're quitting. After about a month, quitting anything becomes alot easier, whether it's weed, cigarettes, alcohol, overeating, whatever. Just stay on top of your game.

Congrats on the clean time! It's great that you have the car to help keep your mind busy and off old habbits. It sounds like the car is coming along pretty well too. Any more pics posted?

My brother smoked daily. I nicknamed him "Pooky".
He was dumb as a box of rocks most of the time.

He quit, because he got a job as a Union heavy equipment operator and it
required his CDL-A license. They randomly pop them too , so he quit.
He said the first 2-3 weeks are slightly tough......but he pulled through.

He still smokes cigs though.....

Glad to hear all is well. Being sober is my high (sounds cheesy, but when you smoked as much as I did, it is a different feeling). Keep it up.
