Are you trying anything new? Or is each try just a repeat of the last try? Analyze why your tries are failing. I'm not saying this is the case with you, but we can't let our "trying" be an excuse to fail, as in "I may be drinking, but at least I'm trying to quit."

At some point in the trying, the drink has to be put down. For good. Do everything in your power to get to that point. It's the doing that will get you sober, not the trying.
