Hmm, chips, coins, whatever.

I don't have any past my one year date, I didn't order one or have one presented, though I am 3.5 years without drink or drug. At this time in my journey, they are not that important to me. I can get one whenever I want to, just order one up, but for some reason I don't. Maybe there will come a time when I will feel differently.

I sometimes wonder why I don't care that much about having one. Maybe I lack humility, seriously, it sounds counterintuitive to say that, but like it has been said, the coin has meaning, or not, to the individual. Or maybe I see them as superficial, in the same category as all those slogans and stuff. I don't really know and I am comfortable with not knowing.

There are three sides to the triangle .... Recovery, Unity, Service. It's there, on the coin... Are you recovered 1 year? Do you feel unified with the other AAs? Do you provide service... anything, talk to a newcomer, share your experience, make coffee?

Your call. Not mine or anybody else's here.
