I think I understand why you are doing the expiration date thing (it gives him a chance to redeem himself, so you don't have to feel too heartless about breaking things off), but I would gently encourage you to reconsider.

You could decide to be done with the relationship now, and then you wouldn't have to wait around for him to do whatever he is (or isn't) going to do. It doesn't sound like you want him to call anyway. What if he calls on 3/31 at 10:59pm or even at 11:05pm? Will you still give him a chance? Why?

This is your life, and it seems like you are taking positive steps in your recovery, so why mess around with that by setting up this somewhat arbitrary scenario? I don't mean to sound harsh; I know this is difficult and confusing and I wish you all the best.
