> I am sorry to that you are having problems with an addiction problem. Addiction is serious and treatable. I urge you to seek professional help.
Treatment does not always mean going in as an inpatient. Even though your spouse is willing to help you with a "contract", it is emotionally unhealthy for a friend, spouse, lover, etc., to become involved to that extent in your recovery.
Recovery is a ongoing process whereby relapse is also an expected part of recovery. Please see a professional for help. Ultimately you may sacrifice not only your marital relationship with your current strategy, but you are also gambling on your life. Realizing you have an addiction is step one. Asking for help is step 2. Asking for help from the right people who understand the uniqueness of this illness is of utmost importance. After all, you would not expect your husband to "cure" you of cancer, would you? Good luck to you and I commend your courage. :) Anne
