Why do I keep doing this?

I should say first that I am not a daily drinker. I don't need alcohol to function. For several years I got drunk every day, but now it's not so much a problem of drinking all the time, but when I do drink I DRINK. I drink a lot. I black out. I do stupid things. I do things that are WAY out of character. I basically become a different person. I am what I believe they call a problem drinker.

have been trying without success to quit drinking now for nearly a year now. I can make it a week, a couple weeks, a month, but something always draws be back. Sometimes it's impulse, sometimes it's an occasion of some kind, lately it's been stress, but in the end it is really just me not being able to withstand the urge to drink.

How do you remain sober day in and day out? What do you do when you get a really overwhelming urge?
