If it is not your battery, you first need to determine what is causing the drain. Not simple but hook up an amp meter in series with your positive battery lead and battery. You should see a current draw with the car off. Pull circuit fuses one by one until you see the current flow stop. Then trouble shoot the wiring and modules on the car associated with that circuit. It would probably be easier to have a reputable shop do this but they will charge you by the hour for the diagnosis alone. Then there is the repair once the defect is found. I am hoping it is your battery or corroded terminals on it.
