Where are MacOS Sonoma Stickies apps stored?

[ThrowerGB]

I've had a corruption on the SSD in my Studio M1 Max. I think it was from a power outage, but not sure. I've tried several different disk repairs with no luck. They find corruptions in most of the snapshots and then run a repair, exiting saying the particular repository is now good. But the problem persists.
Now I can't restore the files containing the Stickies app notes. I don't know where that data is stored, or how to find them. Anyone know where they might be located?
BTW, I have two, possibly 3 back up methods, but the corruption has been copied to the backups and now they're hosed. I've never realized this type corruption could propagate. There are other problems like not being able to find macOS Mail mailboxes stored locally on the SSD, but I'll post that query separately.

1. I have Time Machine setup with two identical physical disks running in parallel. TM writes a backup to disk A, the next backup to disk B, then A again, etc. It alternates between the two disks so if one disk fails, the other might still be good.
2. I also back up to a remote cloud service. It also, like TM, acts as a long term archive. That's hosed as well, but I may have done something I shouldn't have in trying to find missing data. I have one last hope on this storage. - getting in touch with the service to see if I'm missing something about where they store backups.
3. Automatic backups to iCloud+ are somewhat of a hoax. For many years Apple didn't mention that only certain files are uploaded to iCloud+. It's only recently (Sonoma I think) that their documentation explicitely warns of this limitation.

I've been doing various forms of backup both at home and at work since the early '80s in a variety of environments and have never been unable to retrieve data. I'm beginning to realize I might have lost decades of emails I deliberately chose to keep. And I'm particularly P.O.'d about letting myself get into this situation.

Anyone out there who can help me out of this jam?

Sounds like you should erase the drive in Disk Utilities from Recovery mode and reinstall macOS. I don't use TM myself, but I'm pretty sure it stores snapshots, so you should be able to select a snapshot from before the disaster, and restore it to the fresh macOS install.

This is embarrassing!. If I'd searched online for an answer, I'd have quickly found where stickies files are stored
My apologies. - G
