[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would AA give a 24 hour chip to someone at their first meeting who reports having been sober for a couple of months? Is the 24 hour chip a first meeting thing?

I know better than to trust anything DH says with regard to alcohol or recovery so am looking for some other source for this information. [/quote]

This isn’t determined by a committee or something. They say “if you have one day of sobriety, or the desire to be sober today, come up and get a 24 hour chip.”

You have problems here that are not about the chip.[/quote]

Op here and I agree that there are problems, including total lack of trust. We are working on it.

What I’m wondering is, if he went to an AA meeting and said “I’ve been sober for 70 days” it seems odd for them to say “welcome! Here’s your 24 hour sobriety chip!” Or coin or whatever it is.

But I think I hear what you’re saying that it’s a lot less formal than that. Thanks. [/quote]

OP, it’s not your job to “catch” him. You’re letting his alcohol problem run your life. You didn’t cause it, you can’t change it, you can’t cure it. You have to make your choices based on what you need and can tolerate, not on trying to fix him. Some people benefit from Al Anon, the fellowship for people with alcoholic loved ones. [/quote]
