Some conditions (addictions, for example) may appear to be "cured", but are only waiting to resurface. "Old habits die hard" means that you must invest considerable effort in completely annihilating heavily entrenched 'habits'. Although you may think you've "killed" a habit, in times of stress, you may find it rising like a phoenix from the ashes .

Old Habits Die Hard

It's a cliche like 'you can't teach old dogs new tricks.' People's behaviour doesn't change overnight and their 'old habits' are going to take a long time to change or 'die hard'.
