Best to deal in reality, here, - look at what is actually happening.
Not what was supposed to happen.
Not what you would like to happen.
What is happening.

She is living with you. She is not sober. She will not leave.

OK.

That does suck - but it is not insurmountable.

It sounds like you have decided that, for your sanity, you must be apart from this woman. Perhaps it is time to place your sanity at the forefront of importance.
In front of what is fair.
It's not fair for her to reneg on the sobriety deal, but, she's doing it. You can't change what she's doing, so you may have to explore all your options.

I was in a similar situation.
I found a new place.
Unfairness be d@%&ed! It was the right choice for me.


May I suggest speaking with a lawyer about property rights, etc...?
Good luck to you!
