To develop a plan for a substance - free life, we analyze each option:

• "Developing strategies" is necessary to come up with ways to avoid substance use, like finding healthy alternatives or coping mechanisms.
• "Determining outcomes" helps in setting clear goals about what a substance - free life should achieve, like better health or improved relationships.
• "Being willing to fail" is not a positive step for this plan as it implies an acceptance of setbacks that could derail the plan.
