I'm a drunk in China. There's no AA. I can't seem to stop drinking. What should I do?

Everone I know here drinks. Always challenging me to drinking contests and games. I don't want to be rude, and have refused on numerous occasions, but I seem I can't control myself. I can still teach and do my job, but I feel lonely, hence, I think it is a source to my drinking habits. I'd appreciate some advice. There, and on smoking too. Thanks.

I've stayed sober for the last 5+ years using online support. I don't like AA and there were no alternatives where I lived.
