I wake up every day and say I am going to take a break from drinking and every evening I end up drinking. I do not know what is wrong with me. It's like I have zero self control.

That would be addiction. I would do the same thing. Or make deals with myself that it would be only 3 drinks, or 6 today and none tomorrow, or only beer tonight no whiskey…. The lies we tell ourself.
If you truly want to stop drinking there are pathways to get it. AA, Recovery Darmha, SMART recovery. The point is we can not do it alone. Recovery is a we thing. The accountability, and community will help in staying sober. It’s never to late to start. All you need to do is ask for help.

I’ll add that starting small counts. You CAN stop drinking. Heck, get in your car and drive around from 5 until bed time if that’ll keep you from drinking for one night. You can stop for one night, and if you can stop for one night, you can stop entirely.
