Your plant looks like an Echeveria elegans, but I'm not sure.

It is stretching because of a lack of sunlight. This is, unfortunately, irreversible, but you CAN fix it. The way you do that, is by cutting off the top and rooting it. I think it would be best to do that in spring, for fast growth and rooting. Just make a cut at the very top, leaving about 3/4 of an inch of stem. Let the cut heal over for about 2 days in a dry cool spot out of the sun. Then put it in DRY soil, and don't water until you see evidence of roots.

Thank you. Would you suggest using a grow lamp to help at all?

If you cannot keep it outside, a grow light would help it not stretch, but if you can keep it outside, that is better.

Yes I shall use a grow light during the winter. Thanks again

It may help if you add some perlite to your potting soil, I think existing is water retaining. The pot is huge and holds lots of soil. It takes long time for such amount of soil to dry out. Adding at least 50% of perlite would help somehow. When repotting succulents, there is no need to use such large pot.

Thank you, however that particular plant dries out quite quickly even with that amount of soil.

An easy way to tell if the plant needs water is to use a wooden skewer to get way down in the soil. Leave it for a couple of hours, and you can tell if the soil is still moist. I think you will find that it takes longer to completely dry out than you think.

In other words, mixing up a new soil mix (50% perlite, 50% cactus and succulent soil) will save you a lot of trouble in the future. The best time to do it would be when you are doing the cutting and rooting.

Thank you, I'll take that into consideration

Hi Palmsandsnow i did what you suggested with the stick and it came out completely dry. From this how often would you suggest i water?

Succulents are native to dry and often desert areas, so after the wooden rod comes out dry, I would wait a few days to water again.

Did you push the stick all the way down to bottom of the mix?

You'll use the stick to assess this from time to time. Water now, then wait 7-10 days & check the stick again. If it gets wrinkly before then, you'll know to water at shorter intervals.

There's no tried & true formula for this, you need to pls. experiment & see what works for you in your conditions & closely observe the plant's reactions.

Yes i did. Great thank you!
