There is/was a company that made adventures for one player and one GM, but nothing for just one person.
You might want to look into roll20 if your groups keep falling apart. That is where I have been playing for about 5 years now.
yeah... I don't know of anything designed to use by yourself (except maybe Skyrim or other video games). My suggestion would be to watch the PbP recruitments for something that will fit with your schedule. Or, see if you can recruit a DM whose schedule is similar to yours... I've seen people offer DM-exchange setups before where like you run something for them and they run something for you (if you're comfortable with running something)- maybe you could find someone who would run something just for you?
I would recommend looking into Adventure Books Fighting Fantasy, short little text based adventures that tell you to go to a particular page based on what choice you make. Text based adventure video games are also fun. Their more limited but still doable. Alternatively there are some good dungeon generators and you can solo play against RNG

Mind you, this is NOT easy and requires a certain amount of optimization.
Buy an AP/or maybe start small with PFS scenarios.
Gestalt your character, give yourself WBL. Run the module with that character, GMing for yourself.
I've done it before for entertainment =)
Nah - just playtesting so I know the mechanics of the monsters better and have a rough idea on what to expect when I actually run it on Gameday.
Expect to die multiple times due to things you never saw coming ;)
Back in the 70s us kids were desperate to play more D&D (especially when we had been grounded for playing too much D&D).
I believe it was the Strategic review that first published random tables for random dungeon generation. There were tables for corridors, rooms, room contents, wandering monsters, loot and so on. IIRC one of the PF books has similar tables.
Sure, it gets very, very old very, very fast. But back then, we didn't feel bored as long as we had dice in our hands.
Frankly, even though I hate to suggest computer games, they're probably the best way to simulate the "not knowing what comes next" aspect of tabletop RPGs. There are several old games that you could probably find on the cheap or even for free (from some gamers who don't play their 10+ year old games any more) and which mirror quite closely the rules of D&D 3.x, if not Pathfinder as such. Something like:
- Baldur's gate (in one or the other of its incarnations)
- Neverwinter Nights (version 1 or 2, there are things to be said for either one).
And I'm sure somebody here can suggest more recent games that have the D&D/PF feel.
