I completely agree that Stefan isn't delusional. I don't think he actually believes Elena can cure his blood addiction for him. Let me rephrase. What I DO think is that he believes she can keep him in the 'human' side of his personality. That as long as she loves him and sticks with him, he will be inspired enough to keep going with his diet and his rules and his justifications. His best chance to not be tempted is to stay with her, because she sees the good in him that he needs to believe he has. So no, Stefan doesn't think she can cure him of being a vampire (with a serious problem). But he thinks she can help him forget, for the most part. Which is why, once he slips, he thinks he can have nothing to do with her - because this whole illusion of normalcy was so tenuously balanced, and once one thing falls out of place he thinks the entire thing will fall apart.
To be honest, I'm a little confused about the blood-drinking plotline in S2. Where was that going? Yes, we had a moment reminding us that Elena will support Stefan, no matter what. But then what? It never really got mentioned again, and we never saw Stefan dealing with the tolerance build-up, and what was the point? I just don't get it.
