The meaning

One day at a time is the phrase every recovery program knows, and for good reason. Nobody quits forever in one go. You quit today, then you do it again tomorrow. The front of this coin puts it next to a better kind of habit: addicted to getting stronger.

The back is honest about the road. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it. And on the days it feels impossible: never forget the power you have inside you.

The design

The front shows a stepped pyramid, built one level at a time, with Day at a Time across it. A radiant eye with the number 1 sits at the top, between the sun and the moon. The back sets the two lines inside a ring of rays.

On good days and hard days

• On good days, it celebrates the milestone: one more day, one more month, one more year of getting stronger.
• On hard days, when a craving or a bad moment hits, it gives you something to hold and the words to get through it: one day at a time. It's going to be worth it.

Carry it

Keep it where your hand finds it when a craving or a bad moment hits. One customer's husband puts it in his pocket every day as a reminder of how far he has come. Another, who isn't in a program at all, uses it on the days they feel overwhelmed.

Give it

It is a meaningful gift for a sober anniversary or any milestone in recovery, from 30 days to many years. One customer gave it to their husband for his sober anniversary and wrote that he almost cried; he has carried it ever since. It also suits a sponsor, a friend who just started, or anyone breaking a habit that has held them back.

Specs

• Diameter: 1.54 in (39 mm), about the size of a silver dollar
• Thickness: 2.7 mm
• Weight: about 1 oz (28 g)
• Material: brass alloy (Antique Silver, Antique Bronze)
• Made: die struck, minted in the USA
• Each coin is antiqued with a special patina so it looks like it has already been in circulation. The patina never settles the same way twice, so no two coins look exactly alike. Small variations in color and shading are normal, and they are what make your coin one of a kind.

Questions

Something they can carry every day after the celebration is over. This coin marks the milestone and keeps the message close: one day at a time.

Is this an official recovery program chip?
No. It is our own design, made to sit alongside any program token or to stand on its own, for any kind of habit or recovery.

Can I give it to someone who just started?
Yes. The back was written for the early days: it's not going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it.
