Open Recovery CompassWhat are sobriety chips?
Sobriety chips (also called medallions or tokens) are physical coins given in AA and NA meetings to mark milestones of continuous sobriety. Each chip has a color that corresponds to a specific milestone — from the white "desire" chip at 24 hours to the 10-year medallion. They serve as tangible reminders of how far you've come.
Why do milestones matter in recovery?
Milestone recognition activates the brain's reward system in a healthy way, reinforcing the behavior of staying sober. Research shows that celebrating milestones — even small ones — significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes by creating positive associations with sobriety rather than deprivation.
