congrats Crystal on 6 months!!!!!! I took me over 2.5 years of steady going to meetings to get 6 months. I relapsed a lot and made all the mistakes. You must feel good about it and life. Keep up the good work, It just keeps getting better.
Happy HalfYr, Crystal!!! I felt Amazing after my first 6Mths. Tis such a special achievement & I'm so pleased for you. Keep up the goodwork, Lady. It will get better & better for you. Keep on coming back & sharing in the Joys of Recovery. Goodluck in you next 6Mths 1Day@aTime. You've done it once & can do it again for double the fun :) lol Enjoy your program. I hope it brings you much peace & many awakenings, Danielle x

Yep...I got a chip at 60 days...but I don't believe we get another until a year. Thanks for the comments everyone!
depends on the group. Most groups have 30,60,90, 6 months, 9 months. Some have every month inbetween and an 18 month.
When I was in my first year most groups didn't have a 6 month or 9 month, but AA typically has had 30,60,90, 6 months chips since at least the 1950's, as I see the clay poker chips on ebay regularly. Here's a 3 month clay chip from that era.
