Hi Anon

If you say "I have become accustomed to something", then you would have to use 'to which' this way:
"That is something to which I have become accustomed."

You need the word 'to' and the word 'to' would not be repeated at the end of the sentence.

EDIT:
Did you really intend to use the word 'matter'? It sounds a bit odd. Or were you thinking of 'manner'?

"I did something in the manner to which I had become accustomed."
