Hello!
I am totally new here and I really need help to solve my problem. I accidentally withdrew my bitcoins on silk road to my current address.
If the bitcoins aint coming back automatically... how do I get them back?

If you do not have a "wallet" external to SR to which you directed the withdrawal, the btc will come back in a few hours...
I KNOW it's frustrating, I did the same thing yesterday, and viola, all my btc were back in my account in the morning. {sigh of relief!}
Have Faith!
God Bless,
NotOnYourLife :)

Make sure you hit 'get a new address' before attempting to transfer any more BTC to your SR account, and do so every time your Bitcoin arrives. The main cause of 'lost' deposits is people not using a new address for each deposit. As you have already used the current address, you may experience the 'lost deposit' issue.
Technically speaking all addresses will continue working but by hitting 'get a new address' before every deposit, and waiting for your BTC to hit your account before clicking it again, you won't experience any issues with depositing coins.
