Before groups started hanging out sobriety chips, many individual members of AA chose to carry around tokens of their sobriety as a reminder of how important their sobriety was and the hard work they were doing in their programs. Letters between early AA members indicate that this individual tradition was adopted by a group in Indianapolis in 1942. Back then it was common for AA members to travel great distances to attend meetings, so people from all over visited that Indianapolis meeting and took the AA chip system they developed back to their groups.

Another theory traces the origin of this tradition to Sister Ignatia at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio. Sister Ignatia frequently worked with Dr. Bob to get people sober through the hospital's program, and when patients left the hospital she would give them a Sacred Heart Medallion as a reminder of their commitment to their sobriety. It's possible that people who got sober by working with Sister Ignatia and Dr. Bob took the tradition of giving coins to represent a commitment to sobriety back to their AA meetings, resulting in the AA chip system.
