You do not die from cirrhosis of the liver. However, cirrhosis of the liver makes the liver susceptible to cancer. You die from cancer. The worse the cirrhosis, the greater the chance of cancer. If the cirrhosis is alcohol related, if you stop drinking immediately, it is possible to reverse it. Your liver can produce chemicals that dissolve the cirrhosis. Alcohol destroys those chemicals. Your liver constantly produces chemicals that make it heal itself. Alcohol destroys those chemicals.

Can it ever be so bad that you can't cure cirrhosis?

Cirrhosis is the last stage of liver failure; the liver is primarily scar tissue by the cirrhotic stage. This is not curable, as once the liver is scar tissue, it stays scar tissue.It is true that the liver "regenerates itself", but only to a certain extent. If there are not enough healthy cells to regenerate (which there aren't by the cirrhotic stage), or the speed of regeneration does not exceed the speed of degeneration, then liver function will become worse and worse. This is why cirrhosis is not curable/reversible. (The treatment "cure" is a liver transplant, which is essentially the same as saying that "the cure for baldness is hair" - it doesn't really fix the underlying problem, but it does provide a solution).
