300!
learned that is best to listen to your heart and have hope
Instead of worrying or responding with anger, I'm learning to accept the situation for what it is and separate myself in order to maintain my peace of mind.
Hi there .... EVERYONE!
This is step 800 for me, yes - eight hundred! Wow.
One thing I am learning recently is that if I wait until I am all healed and no longer wounded by the past in my own life, then I will miss out on many opportunities that He has for me in the midst of the healing journey. If I share with someone what is really truly going on with me, I may hear them say, "What?? Me too!" 
If I can learn to be more open with the hard things I've lived through or the tough stuff I am going though now, perhaps, just maybe, someone else will choose such that she will not have to go down the path I'm on or she will realize I really can empathize with her because I've been there. I'm not just saying, "Oh, yeah, I get you;" but she will know, "Yeah, Platy really does get me."
I hope in this way (or other ways, of course) that my pain, sorrow, and hurt can be used for good - for the benefit of another perhaps.

It is time to take chances.
It is okay to make mistakes.
I learned that i can be comfortable talking in a group about my eating disorder and that it is a healthy way to cope.
That I'm more important than I think I am. @GlenM
i am currently at level of seeking light 7, have been here for about a month now. also just fininshed step 100, which kinda made me really smile and happy today.
it is very reassuring to get positive confirmation from people here that it is okay to ask for help. having difficulties from anxiety and depression are not something to be ashamed or feared of. asking for help may not come always as easy for me, but it helps that there are people who are just willing to listen to you about it.
To try to think abouut the postives too
