Where can I get chips from in the UK?

IS that what they are called? I mean the little disks for 1 month, 3 month etc.

None of the meetings I've been to have them, and I'm too scared to ask anyone.

Can anyone recommend somewhere online I can get them from in the UK?

I'm wondering if they just aren't used in the UK, as my Dad buys my Mums for her.

Here is a link that may help you find some. I don't see why any meeting can't incorporate the use of chips if they want to. Hopefully some others will come along with more information for you.
This link is for AA:

I have one for NA too:

Not all groups in the USA present them...it all depends on "group conscience". My own home group voted not to have them on hand, or allow them to be presented at the podium, although individuals still chose to gift them to each other.

Here are a couple of good sites I found on-line...sorry, I "spoke out of turn"...so I'm sending the info via IM.

We have key tags, so my keyring looks like a multicoloured porcupine

I even have a red one from an NA meeting...given to me as a courtesy, since I'm not what they'd consider an addict.

I used to buy them for chris on auction sites. He lives there too.

I actually bought months worth ahead, but we dont talk anymore. We are
both married and it got too friendly.

I have a 4 & 5 month coin left if anyone wants one. Just put your snailmail addy in a private message. And you BETTER appreciate it cuz they cost like 6 bucks to send hehe!!!!!!!!!
