No matter where you move or what you do AW, there will be stress and cravings. The key is working on a sobriety plan that you can use anywhere. Sure, there might be more people you know back home that are drinking buddies and temptations, but you have to absolutely commit 100% to not hanging out with them or in those places if you move back.

Make and inventory of what you have now, and what potential there is where you live. Maybe you could find a better job? You'll most likely need to find new friends at home anyway so not having friends now can't be an excuse - you'll need to make new ones wherever you are.

But the bottom line is, your sobriety is an independant issue you need to address on it's own. Moving somewhere else won't magically make all the bad stuff go away, there will just be different bad stuff.
