No two people in recovery are alike - some need meetings daily forever, others are more sporadic. It's your life and your program, choose what works for you, but be mindful of the possibility that you are listening to the voice that got you to AA in the first place.
The flag in your post that most caught my eye: "desperation." That may have not been your intent, but desperation is essentially a state of despair, or a lack of hope. There are people whose "sobriety" is a state of despair - that's not recovery in my experience. A guy whose opinion I value recently said in a meeting, "there are no hopeless cases, only those who think hopelessly."
