Which of the following is NOT one of the six questions to consider when preparing a recovery story?

  1. What is my purpose?

  2. What are my goals?

  3. Who is my audience?

  4. What is my risk to self?

The correct answer is: What are my goals?

The correct answer identifies a question that is not part of the six key considerations when preparing a recovery story. In general, the preparation of a recovery story focuses on factors that help convey one’s experiences and insights in a meaningful way. Understanding purpose is crucial, as it provides the foundation for the narrative and guides the storyteller in sharing their experiences authentically. Knowing the audience helps the storyteller tailor the message effectively, ensuring that it resonates with those who will hear it. Additionally, considering personal risk to self is important to ensure that sharing the story does not compromise one’s emotional or psychological wellbeing. While setting goals can be beneficial for personal growth and direction in recovery, it is not typically one of the core questions to consider when specifically crafting a recovery narrative. Instead, the focus is more on the purpose of sharing the story, understanding the intended audience, and managing personal vulnerabilities during the storytelling process.
