Default Slow start, battery drain help please

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Here is the story on the 2004 Civic LX: Returned home from vacation (Car sat for 5 days) and tried to start it up and the engine turned over real slow but did start. The next day I took the batter in to Autozone to check/replace. Autozone charged the battery and then tested. The battery came back good. Place charged battery in car and car starts great. Day or two latter car back to slow starts. Next took civic to autozone and they tested the car with battery in and came back with starter problem. Next day replaced starter and jumped started car because of dead battery. Let the car run for awhile and car seamed fine for a day or two. Now car is slow to start again.

To me it seams like something is draining the battery while car is off.... or is it that the battery really is just bad? Again, thanks for any help.
