As a believer in one-day-at-a-time approaches to change, I think this contract idea is a good one though I've never done something like this before. I mostly just try to monitor my thinking and catch myself.

I didn't see in any of your posts whether your contracts also include trying to use constructive/positive talk to replace the destructive/negative talk. Just silencing those destructive thoughts isn't enough, you need to replace them with something that will be helpful to you.
