So... Since I became a practicing Catholic (2023) I have been going to confession more often than I used to. Like, it took me more than a decade after high school before I went again! 
But after that of course I made up for "lost time." Once a month is not enough for me anymore. And I always read an Examination of Conscience every time since then.
Which made me wonder, how many times do other people go and avail of the Sacrament of Confession? Care to share your thoughts?

To be honest, I usually go to confession only twice a year—during Advent and Lent. It’s rare for me to feel the need or strong urge to go on any other day.

Yeah it seems to be the case for most Catholics. It's also the time when the Church is actively encouraging people to go. I have a former work colleague who also does the same thing, even if I tell him to try once a month he doesn't even think of trying. hehe.
