sobriety chips

Abstinence milestone markers

Sobriety chips are tokens given in twelve-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous to mark periods of abstinence from alcohol or drugs.

Different colors typically represent different milestones—white for the first day, various colors for months, bronze or gold for years.

Also called sobriety coins or medallions.
