Im my area we hand out 24hr chips to anyone who wants to commit to a new sober lifestyle that has been sober for 24hrs. It is of so valuable silver. One can pick up this chip whenever he or she wishes to recommit.

Then the thirty day chip which is blood red. I think we know why.

Next the sixty day chip. It is yellow and I used to stare at it and imagine the yellow yield signal. You know "Easy does It"

The ninety day chip is green. Time to go and get involved with service work and serious step work.

No four month chip but then another blood red five month chip. Symbolizing the pain of the loss of ego.

Six month chip is cobalt blue. Starting to get some cool serenity.

Pass over month seven and eight and get a purple nine month chip for being king like.

OK, I got creative with my own interpretation, it works for me

Then multiple year chips whith the only exception a 18month coin. The multiple yr chip are all bronze/metalic.

The coins all have the same words and symbology with the serenity prayer

on the back. On the front on the top is the phrase "To thy own self be true"

then the triangle surounding the time 24hrs-multiple yrs.. Withing this

triangle are the word Unity, Service, and Recovery.
