"...Day 1, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days (all 30 days apart)
4, 5, and 6 months (going by "months now" rather than 30 day periods)
from 6 to 9 and then from 9 to 12 (3 month interval)
1 yr to 18 mos then to 2 yrs (6 month interval)
Yearly
It's a weaning process..."
Back in the day, my friends and I got chips for day one (called a desire chip); one month; two months; three months; six months; nine months; and the anticipated one year. There was no 18 month chip; so we had to wait another year for our next chip.
I remember when the 18 month chip first became available here; just as/shortly after my friends and I celebrated two years. Boy howdy there were some new 4th/5th steps pouring out then. Some of us called (and still call) that 18 month chip the 'resentment' chip...............lolol
"...If you make a negative statement to yourself then when that point in time comes it's going to drag you right down..."
Absolutely correct. There's a law/belief that goes something like this.....: "Thought held in mind produce after their kind." Kinda like 'As a man thinks in his heart, so is he;' or 'As you sow, so shall you reap;' or 'What goes around, comes around;' or 'As you give, so shall you receive.' In other words, keep it positive..................
