Handing out AA chips in a meeting for the first time!
Permalink  
 


I have been going to my meetings for 6 months now and recently been asked to hand out the chips.  After listening to others do this, it is pretty simple what is said when handing out these chips but I was just wondering if you are one that does this on a regular basis, can you please tell me what you say when presenting these chips.  For us, it starts with the 24 hour chip, which also is a desire chip and a slip chip.  Just want to speak about it very professionally when doing this.  Thanks in advance!!

I'm also interested in hearing the replies, because I may soon be the chip person for the first time at my home group meeting.

At all the meetings I go to, we use the white/blue/red chip version. There is no set wording for the chip person to deliver. Often that person will do a free form statement describing the white chip as a "surrender chip," the blue chip as a month's chip and the red as an anniversary chip. We don't use the "slip chip" concept.

Sometimes the chip person will extemporize a bit on some AA-related experiance, principle or concept.
