Keep track of your progress in sobriety with us!

 One of the traditions in AA is collecting chips to commemorate milestones of sobriety time. The usual procession of chips is a 24-hour “desire” (to stay sober for the next day) chip, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18 months, and then yearly chips after that. Collecting chips is a great way to congratulate yourself on how far you’ve come in sobriety. Additionally, stepping forward to receive a chip during a meeting shows other alcoholics and addicts that it is indeed possible to stay sober. Often the receiving of a chip is accompanied by a brief account of “how we did it,” which can serve as an inspiration to others.


At Harmony Haus Sober Living in Austin, TX, we love celebrating our sober milestones with each other. Residents get a feeling of accomplishment and support when we hold dinners, parties, or just congratulatory meetings where residents can mark their continued sobriety.

Keeping Track of Sober Time with Sober Living

One of the main traditions in AA--and in recovery in general--is keeping track of sober time and celebrating various milestones of continuous sobriety. In AA especially, members enjoy getting “chips” that mark one month, two months, three months, six months, nine months, one year, and eighteen months. After that, chips are given every year. The idea behind this progression is that, as our sobriety grows stronger, we can focus less on the accomplishment of a chip and instead focus on the joys of day-to-day sober living. In early recovery, however, it seems important to celebrate and be proud of every smaller milestone, whether that is a day, a week, or a month. At Harmony Haus, a transitional housing (sober house) in Texas, we feel the same way about celebrating your accomplishments in sobriety. With a group of peers and friends who are on the same journey as you, you will enjoy receiving chips and being congratulated with every step you take in sobriety. And you’ll see others collectin...
