Where to Find AA Literature Such as the Big Book and the 12 Steps on Silkworth.net

Silkworth.net organizes its Alcoholics Anonymous material under a single AA Literature section, and that is where you will find the Big Book, the 12 Steps, the 12 Traditions, the 12 Concepts, and the related prayer and principles pages. The site also keeps a separate Categorised listing of all articles if you would rather browse everything by category instead of by title. All of these are reachable from the site's main navigation — no account or payment is mentioned anywhere in the page evidence.

The AA Literature section

The homepage lists AA Literature as a heading with a repeated set of entries underneath it. The items that match your question are:

So if you only need the Big Book and the 12 Steps, go straight to A.A. Big Book and A.A. 12 Steps within that section. If you want the Traditions or Concepts for group or service work, they sit in the same list.

Finding the Big Book and the 12 Steps

1. Start at the Silkworth.net homepage.
2. Locate the AA Literature heading (it appears more than once on the page, with the same entries each time).
3. Select A.A. Big Book for the main text, or A.A. Big Book (164 Pages) if you specifically want the 164-page edition.
4. For the Steps, select A.A. 12 Steps. The Traditions and Concepts are listed immediately after it as A.A. 12 Traditions and A.A. 12 Concepts.

Expected result: you land on the literature page for that item. If you are looking for personal stories rather than the main text, use Big Book Stories Edition 1 or Edition 2 instead.

Prayers, principles, and step-related pages

Beyond the core texts, the same section collects the shorter reference material people often search for:

• The Serenity Prayer and The Page Of Prayers — prayer texts.
• Principles Of The Program — the principles behind the Steps.
• 9th Step Promises (Pg 83/84) — the promises passage, labeled with its Big Book page numbers.
• A.A. Preamble and Singleness of Purpose — the standard opening statements read at meetings.
• I Am Responsible — the responsibility statement.
• 12 Traditions Checklist — a working checklist for the Traditions.

Browsing everything instead

If you do not know the exact title, use Categorised listing of all articles. It is listed as its own heading on the homepage and gives you a category-based index of the site's articles, which is the better route when you are exploring rather than looking for one specific document.

Related free material on the same site

The homepage also groups non-text resources under Free Stuff, which may be useful if you want audio or app versions of the same literature:

• Free Audiobooks & Speaker Tapes
• Videos Of Bill Wilson
• The PDF Project (1000+ PDF's)
• Free AA Apps For iPhone and Free AA Apps For Android
• 10-Days To Sobriety, Free 12 Step Toolkit App, Free AA Big Book App

These are listed as free on the page. Note that the site's pricing signals mention a subscription keyword and PayPal as a payment platform, but the page evidence does not attach a price to any specific item, so treat the literature and Free Stuff entries as listed resources rather than assuming every part of the site is free.

Common snags

• Duplicate headings. AA Literature appears twice with identical entries. Either instance works; you are not missing a second, different section.
• "Big Book" vs. "Big Book Stories." The stories editions are separate from the main 164-page text. If you want the program text, pick A.A. Big Book.
• Steps vs. Traditions vs. Concepts. They are three separate entries, not one combined page, so open the one you actually need.
