I just recently saw a tv commercial for quitting smoking sponsored by Health Canada. It had a good message for anyone getting off drugs. People will have moments of weakness from time to time or as they called it in the commercial a "blip", and the important thing is not to beat yourself up about it. As time progresses, the blips get further and further apart as the behaviour diminishes... Remember, 2 years is a huge amount of time. You're not that younger person anymore.
Some of your depression may also be guilt related. Focusing on your progress, will make things much easier than on your "blip". :)
It may also be important to make sure you don't come in to contact with any destructive friends, and as you mentioned before attend some AA meetings, perhaps also some NA meetings as well in your area if you can. Once you get your confidence back, things will be much easier.
Stay strong,
Brian
