Question

what are the primary steps for developing a plan to lead a substance-free life? select three options.
□ planning ahead
□ being willing to fail
□ developing strategies
□ determining outcomes
□ criticizing yourself often

Explanation:

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

• "Planning ahead": It is essential as it helps in anticipating situations where substances might be a temptation and preparing for them.
• "Being willing to fail": This is not a positive step for a substance - free plan as a positive and determined attitude is needed, not a willingness to fail.
• "Developing strategies": Strategies like how to say no, finding alternative activities, etc., are crucial for avoiding substances.
• "Determining outcomes": Understanding the positive outcomes of a substance - free life (better health, relationships, etc.) and negative outcomes of substance use can motivate and guide the plan.
• "Criticizing yourself often": Self - criticism is not a constructive step. A supportive and positive self - attitude is more helpful for maintaining a substance - free life.

So the three correct options are planning ahead, developing strategies, and determining outcomes.

Answer:

A. planning ahead, C. developing strategies, D. determining outcomes
