Yes, but it's not a loss, you made it that long had a hard fought battle and gave in to temptation. Don't beat yourself and focus on how great you did. Think about the positive and remember how remarkable you did for those 10 years. Hold on to the recovery and know you can do it.

Your not alone I had 15 yrs sober then I went out don't beat yourself up that much. Consider it a lesson learned like I did. Close your door on your feelings but don't look back keep moving forward

Yes.
Remember, you didn’t really lose the 10 years of experience that will always be with you. Get back to the program get back to the steps and get back to being of service.
