The guy who gives out the chips every week at one of my home groups has a little speech that he gives before handing out the chips about what each one means. I know it by heart after all this time (LOL, the yellow chip for 60 days is the "urine chip" meaning "yer in the right place"). The six month chip, he says, "is when you get into the 'blues'--the big blues (gesture at Big Book) and the little blues (gesture at 12 & 12). The Steps'll keep you from committing suicide, and the Traditions'll keep you from committing homicide."
