The cost of hosting silkworth.net on the Servers at In2net.com is $390.00 per year. A payment in the amount of $390.00 was paid on March 5th 2013. Next payment due date: March 5th
2014. Occasionally the traffic to silkworth.net exceeds the allowable
400 Gigabytes per month and I happily pay for the extra Gigabytes of
traffic.
I extend my gratitude to all of you for your support of
silkworth.net and hope the site will continue to help you in your quest
for knowledge of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous history and
related information.
There are Thousands of pages, MP3 files, AVI files, zipped files, word docs, PDF files and entire books to read online — to help you become more informed by reading, studying, learning and perhaps research you may be doing.
If
you have any additional Alcoholics Anonymous historical and related
information to add to silkworth.net, It would be an honor to post the
information you send in with credits of where and by whom the information was sent for inclusion on silkworth.net.
*Alcoholics
Anonymous history is, pretty much, kept under lock and key at
Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. in New York which many A.A.
members will never have the privilege of viewing, reading, studying from
or perhaps doing research. Only a fraction of A.A. members will ever
take the journey to New York to view A.A. history that A.A.W.S., Inc.
has in its possession. If A.A.W.S, Inc. in New York would put up its own
Alcoholics Anonymous history web site, then there would be no need for a
site such as silkworth.net.
All A.A. history information on
silkworth.net will never be taken out of context - rather posted exactly
as it was intended for the visitors to research, read, learn and study
from by the many thousands of visitors per month to silkworth.net. All
information is provided for free - as it should be.
Yours in service,
Warmest regards,
Jim M.

I am responsible . . .
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible.
A Declaration of Unity
This
we owe to A.A.'s future: To place our common welfare first; To keep our
fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives, And the lives of
those to come.

Do we want more of what brought us to AA ...
We
were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control
our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we
couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of
fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other
people—was not a basic solution of these bedevilments more important ... ?
... or do we want what practicing the principles of AA promises?
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are
these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled
among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always
materialize if we work for them.

"God,
I offer myself to Thee—to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take
away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I
would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy
will always!"

"Lord,
make me a channel of thy peace—that where there is hatred, I may bring
love—that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of
forgiveness—that where there is discord, I may bring harmony—that where
there is error, I may bring truth—that where there is doubt, I may bring
faith—that where there is despair, I may bring hope—that where there
are shadows, I may bring light—that where there is sadness, I may bring
joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be
comforted—to understand, than to be understood—to love, than to be
loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving
that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
Amen."

God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that

life."
