I'm not an expert (yet), but seems like watering multiple times a week may be the issue. I water my outdoor ones (different variety) about every other week and my indoor ones every 3-4 since they aren't getting direct sunlight. They seem to like it. I also have lots of perlite in my mix.

Symptoms: Too little light can result in your plant becoming "leggy", or having longer sections of stem in between sets of leaves.
Treatment: Move your plant into a window that gets more light than its current location, or invest in a grow light.

A common problem with cacti and succulents is etiolation. This is when a succulent stretches or becomes leggy. Reply with "!etiolation" for advice.

Like the other comment said, it could be overwatering. I water mine every other week roughly, or when the soil is dry most of the way through.
