Silly sobriety day question

What is considered a month in AA? My sobriety date is July 12. Is a month considered 4 weeks, the same day the next
month, or 30 days? Wonder technically when I can get my one month chip.

I got my 30 day chip at 30 exact days, it helped to throw off my counting, then I got serious fuzzy brain. Now I use Sobertine calculator!

All of our meetings have birthday nights the last meeting night of the month so it's not that big of an issue.

I got sober on Dec 1st and took my 30 day chip on New Year's Eve. Looking forward to that chip may have helped me get through the holiday hub-ub.

I count days as actual days, 170 days today but I count months as on the 20th day, so 6 months is on the 20th.

1mo X 6 = {a lot of days}

I never had to worry about the mathematician algorithms before I made it past a month; division by 0 computes error, lol, it’s good to be able to use my sober smarts, I may need to brush up
