A couple of months after graduating high school, I moved 125 miles away to start college. I had already aced the entrance exams & gotten a scholarship offer, so why not? I tried going to meetings for a while after moving to Tampa ... just to see if it would be any better going on my own when I didn't "have to go" ... but it still sucked. So I quit going. I had one brief visit from a couple of elders a few weeks later, and then I never heard from them again. Well, maybe that's not entirely accurate. I haven't heard from THOSE Dubs again. But, after a couple of cross-country moves, I do get the occasional door knocking every few years.
