Let me start by admitting that I am a moron.
I got annoyed that while on my iOS devices all the contacts were fine almost all of them were doubled in my Mac address book. So I went online and read how to resolve the duplicates issue here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203565.
Being a moron I ignored the 1st point and did not back up my contacts but I happily did the other steps and merged my cards. After I was done I realised that instead of having close to 800 contacts in iCloud I now have 41. When I tried to undo the merges the app crashed. As everything was synced I basically have no contacts anymore.
Is there any way to restore my contacts now or am I completely screwed?
(I do not know if this makes any difference but I do have a paid storage space on iCloud and my iPhone has been backed up this morning before I screwed the pooch)
