Asking negative vs positive questions

Am i understanding the lesson correctly by following the below example for the following translation?

English: How can I not go?  Here, i'm intending to mean the sense that I don't want to go, am searching for a reason to not go, but i need to go or am required to go, etc.

Would that be: comment puis-je ne pas aller ?

Merci!

I’m interested to know the answer to this as well.

Cécile and Aurélie - please advise?
