Can't decrypt my passwords: gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

[Csanyi Pal]

In my case I haven't any backup of mine GPG secret key here.

So I removed my stored and lost passwords from password-store.

I just initialize this password-store with the command:
pass init csanyipa at gmail.com

I shell store here my passwords again.

I am just curious: can one decrypt it's password-store with command 
which is opposite to the
pass init command?
