PinkGirl,
Members of A.A. celebrate milestones in sobriety with chips, some are very elaborate, others are very simple.
They are coins about the size of a silver dollar. There are 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and then yearly. The 24 hour chip is mostly given out to someone who feels the need for extra support for any number of reasons. I asked for one when I was in my first 3 weeks of chemo because I felt so crappy. I had 24 1/2 years of continuous sobriety so it wasn't really to keep me from drinking. We try to take life one day at a time so the 24 hour chip echos that. Hope this explains this. Now, I have taken a couple of pictures and am currently struggling to find them and get the on the site.
I'll keep trying.
Love & hugs,
Marlys
