What helped me was getting it straight in my head that for me alcohol was no reward.
It also did not calm me down, make me less angry, solve any problems, make me sleep better, make me forget or provide me with hours of fun.
I wish you the best

Sorry to hear you hit a bump in the road but tomorrow's a new day, dust off and give it another go 
it took me a year from when I first mustered up the balls to give sobriety a shot (13-14 months ago, actually) and 2-3 relapses from month-plus-long stints of not drinking to get to where I am now, which is feeling pretty solid. So, it may not be a snap of the fingers, I guess is what I am saying, but if you keep trying you are sure to succeed!
Try to learn from relapses but don't get too down on yourself. You were sober for three days straight, that's great! Practice makes perfect
This times one hundred. Making that connection was a big jump forward for my sobriety too.
