Civic EX V4

Ok, SO my car doesn't like starting anymore, Ive got it to start by jumping it and sometimes that don't even work. The flywheel does turn but no start! I took it to the the Autozone for the free battery check, they said it was sh*t, got a new one thinking that was the problem, NOPE! Next turn, no start. It seems to be when it is really really cold out, once it gets started its good, little leery of turning it off when running errands but it seems to work out when hot. Ive heard its everything from the Fuel pump, sensors, plugs, ignition, carburetor, starter, I've heard it all. It is currently in the shop for a Charge Test running $19.95, Battery cost me $58. Anyone has a more exact guess as to what it is let me know:

It seems that any night it gets really cold my car doesn't like to start in the AM. I can hook it to a friends truck, give it some gas, let off and it starts right up. Ok sometimes it takes a few tries. But just from cold starting it, it kills my battery trying to start it. I've heard its my alternator, battery, spark plugs, distributor, water in the gas, and so on and so forth. Once the car gets running and good and warm, I can stop somewhere (Wal-Mart) come back out and it starts up fine. I don't know what to do, if anyone has had the similar problems, and have some real answers, let me know!! Thanks!!
