[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t take the AA haters on here to heart. AA works for some people, not for others. Take what you want and leave the rest. There is a lot of value when you open your mind, even when it’s “not for you”. It’s also not a monolith - there are groups that fit pretty much anyone, if you’re willing to go look for them.

To answer your question:

Anyone can pick up a white chip (24 hour) at any time. It’s for the desire to stop drinking, and partly represents “one day at a time”, which is 24 hours. I’ve seen old timers who are having difficulty take it, or people who are recommitting. Usually, it’s for the person wanting to stay sober, or having their first 24 hours.

AA is self reporting, so someone with 70 days could take their 30 day and 60 day chip if they wanted them now.

Also wanted to add… *some* groups don’t readily give out the 30/60/90 days chips to newcomers unless they are the home group. That’s not every group, but I have seen it where some old timer groups hold on to chips.

Also if your husband is new to AA, he may not know he doesn’t have to just take the newcomer chip. [/quote]
