I sometimes have that thought-- that I shouldn't go, or go as often, since I've made progress, and things aren't as bad as they were.
But then I realize that progress doesn't mean that I'm through making progress, and feeling better doesn't mean that I've worked on the issues that I've at least begun to address-- It mostly means I've gotten past the worst of things, but there is a lot of work beyond that--work to find ways of growing further, not just barely staying afloat.
I think you question really answers itself-- shouldn't you want to come less? The answer has to be no-- you should want to come as much as you want to come-- . You can trust yourself, I think-- you'd know if it weren't right for you.
I have this idea that you feel that unless you have some terrible, overwhelming or desperate need, you don't deserve anything special and should get along without-- that someone else must need them more and you shouldn't be so greedy- & that only if you're terribly needy can you even ask for, or dare to take something. But that's part of what you do need to work toward-- knowing that you have the right to go beyond that, to fight for so much more than the barest survival.
