I wanna be a quitter

Haven't figured out how just yet, so I'm trying more things. I'm 39 and male; been a problem drinker for a while. Wouldn't say it's progressed to full-blown alcoholism, but I know it's headed there if I don't change what I've been doing for most of the last year, drinking an average of 3-4 times a week and rarely less than a six-pack. I keep making promises to myself to quit for a specified period of time, or only drink in certain situations, or whatever, but I haven't been able to keep them - I get a craving and there I am, drinking again. I drink alone most of the time. When I go out socially, I'll drink more and faster than everyone else, and then stop on the way home for a couple extra. I feel bad about letting myself down this way, but I still do it. All of this tells me that I need to quit as soon as I can, whatever way works for me, and stay that way for a long, long time. I drank last night, so today is (yet again) day one. Thank you all for any help or advice you can give.
