What Free AA Resources Does Silkworth.net Offer?

Updated

Silkworth.net offers a "Free Stuff" section that includes free audiobooks and speaker tapes, videos of Bill Wilson, a PDF project with over 1,000 documents, and free AA apps for iPhone and Android. These resources are listed directly on the site's homepage under the "Free Stuff" heading. The site also provides extensive AA literature and history materials, though the "Free Stuff" category specifically groups the multimedia and downloadable items.

Free Audiobooks & Speaker Tapes

The site hosts free audiobooks and speaker tapes. These are audio recordings, likely of AA speakers and readings of AA literature. The exact titles and formats are not detailed in the available page evidence, but the category is explicitly named "Free Audiobooks & Speaker Tapes."

Videos of Bill Wilson

A dedicated section features videos of Bill Wilson, a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. These are likely historical footage or recordings. The page evidence lists "Videos Of Bill Wilson" as a distinct item under "Free Stuff."

The PDF Project (1000+ PDFs)

The PDF Project is described as containing over 1,000 PDFs. This is a large collection of documents, presumably related to AA literature, history, and other materials. The exact contents and how to browse them are not specified in the excerpt, but the project is listed as a free resource.

Free AA Apps

Silkworth.net lists several free AA apps for both iPhone and Android:

  • Free AA Apps For iPhone
  • Free AA Apps For Android
  • 10-Days To Sobriety
  • Free 12 Step Toolkit App
  • Free AA Big Book App

These apps are provided as free downloads. The site does not indicate any cost or subscription requirement for these apps in the available evidence. However, the site does mention "subscription" as a keyword and lists PayPal as a payment platform, which may apply to other parts of the site or optional support, but the "Free Stuff" section is explicitly labeled as free.
