.... and you're asking NOW? Even though "it's urgent"?
The first rule of data recovery: As soon as you realize something is
wrong, make a copy of everything immediately. Then stop using it.

Correct. Any chance you ever had of recovering your data is almost
certainly gone because you restored into it - probably immediately
destroying your deleted data - then kept on using the database for
another month.
If you're willing to spend a lot of money you might be able to recover
some of it using hard-drive level overwritten data forensics, but I
rather doubt it.
