"I am far from" OR "I am far for" having/doing something

Hello there!

I have been using this website through google searches for a long time, it's been great and very helpful and I have always found answers to my grammar questions in here. However today, I wrote this phrase:

I am far for having something.

And after I sent the e-mail, I cursed myself because I thought I should have used the preposition "from" instead of "for".
But after some searches I realized that people often use the phrase I wrote.
It seems to me that since I am not directly relating to distance, but "far" implicitly relates to it, "from" should be the word to use in the phrase. Therefore:

I am far from having something

Would be correct. So I was wondering if I made a mistake or not.
