Sobriety Anniversary And Aa Chips
The AA meetings that alcoholics attend are meant
to help them recover from the shackles of their
addiction. The addiction of alcohol can ruin
someone's life. Making it to the meeting on a
regular base and achieving any level of sobriety
is a big deal because, believe it or not, getting
rid of alcohol addiction is a difficult task.
Usually a milestone is celebrated by providing AA
chips that are a sign of how much you have gained
from the meeting and how much your life has
improved after going to them. An AA chip or
medallion is a symbol of the problem you faced
and overcame.
Being an addict or under the influence of alcohol
is dangerous. People are usually addicted to
something, but being addicted to alcohol or drug
or something that can make you lose your head can
be disastrous for your life and future. When
people find themselves in trouble because of
their addiction, they feel lost and unable to get
through it. The support of a friend and family
members help them to get over the addiction. But
before the support is realized, the addict should
be able to admit to himself or herself that he or
she is facing a problem and needs help. This is
the first step of losing any addiction.

• When this first step is taken, a person
  can plan out what sorts of steps he or she wants
  to take to get rid of the problem. Some people
  get through with it with the help of doctors,
  while others go to rehabs and turn their lives
  around. Though people do find peace within rehab
  centers, the temptation of alcohol consumption
  can return anytime. To avoid such a situation and
  to make sure that you are never tempted in the
  future people join alcohol anonymous groups.
  These groups comprise of people who have faced
  the similar issues in the past and are recovering
  themselves. Addiction doesnt leave you and you
  need support of those who have been in the same
  situation. They celebrate their fight against
  addiction with small gestures like AA chips.

AA chips are usually normal chips which are given
to recovering addicts who have shown tremendous
courage and effort in getting rid of alcohol.
They are awarded by the sponsor of the person and
are source of great inspiration amongst
alcoholics. Some support groups also provide AA
medallions and other sort of medals that can
signify an anniversary. The core of these is to
make sure that the recovering alcoholic can track
the time he or she has given to the recovery and
how far he or she is able to come.

The support groups are usually anonymous so that
people in the group cannot be tracked. The
recovering alcoholics have to attend the meetings
regularly and have to share their life stories.
This sharing gives them the opportunity to
reflect upon their lives with their friends and
support members. These meetings also give them a
place to share their pains and losses due to
alcoholism and its addiction. You can buy these
