Stay strong, skipper! You can do it and 3 weeks is fantastic. 
Sadly all my favourite cinemas serve alcohol now, but I’m glad I can enjoy going to the movies sober. Every time I started drinking in the cinema, I could never watch anything till the end. I’d leave mid-film to keep drinking. Yuck!

Actually, it does sound bad. 
It's a bad idea. You'll be throwing away your three weeks sober, for what? Discomfort and regret, at best.
I hope you flex what sober muscles you've got. After you've been sober a good while, you'll no longer be tempted. But you've got to get there by staying sober.

Last time I went to the movies I think I paid $15 for a popcorn and soda..I'd assume they charge night club prices for booze. If I'm going to drink,I'd get a bottle on the way home..I'm cheap like that. Skip the booze and have some $6 candy. 
Also..don't buy booze on the way home. It'll be better tomorrow.

Thanks for the responses . I didn’t drink so tomorrow will be my 3 weeks😍 I saw mama Mia and it looked like everyone had either a glass of wine or a beer in their hand throughout the movie but I still loved it. The friend I went with drank and honestly the wine did not smell good to me. Thanks for all the encouraging words. I have been at this for a long time and I just turned 50 and know that it’s time .

Maybe it's time to make some permanent changes?

I've gotten in shape now too at 41! It can be done. Takes work though. But all good things take work.
Do you have a plan to get and stay sober?

We don't have alcohol at our movie theaters, what an odd thing to have there.
Good for you on three weeks.
I was at the theater a few weeks ago to see a musical. It was so sweltering hot and we had eaten at a restaurant, those $5 bottles of water went down nice LOL
As an aside, the restaurant we had to wait for our table because it's a popular one that doesn't take reservations between 5 and 7. So I went into the bar area attached to it, ordered an iced tea. I overheard the bartender say to someone else behind the bar, an adult iced tea, I panicked I was like no, booze, no alcohol, she was like, I meant an adult sized one, not a kiddie cup. We had friends with us who don't know I quit drinking, so I was a bit embarrassed to have a mini freak out, but hey, they are normal drinkers, it probably didn't register.
