I believe that no matter what a person does they can always turn over a new leaf and start again, it may be hard at times but there is always the chance. Some people miss this chance, that is true, but lots of people overcome addictions every day.

Two things not to forget:

1) Many addictions, particularly something as physically consuming as this, are not an enemy to be conquered and reign victorious over. It's a daily battle, even if the temptation does get easier.

2) The poem is from the addict's perspective, apparently not by one who has rehab'ed, so the "forever" sentiment is from that blinded perspective, not from one with hope of escape.
