It's a tough call. I definitely don't think moving is going to "solve" anything. There's negative influence everywhere and living in a new place poses new challenges. Unless you're within an hour of your family, you won't see them much. Nor will you see your friends. Making new friends AND finding a job AND finding meetings AND finding housing can be very overwhelming.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I agree with a lot of people in that it's just what some of us need. But I suggest at least landing a job in the new place before up and moving. My partner and I both thought it would be super easy for her to find a job when we moved. Great resume, fantastic references, some publications, etc... NOPE She still doesn't have anything close to what she had before. It's disappointing to her and not good for self esteem.
