To a wide variety of issues. It's no different with alcohol for example, dwelling on mistakes of the past will drive you nuts and stressing ahead into the future can make life seem daunting and futile.

I can not drink today and I won't drink tomorrow, that seems completely doable. When I would think about never drinking again ever, like 20 or 30 years into the future it seemed unattainable, but just not doing it for a day seemed possible.
