The correct answer.
 
yoosta

I yoosta could to dunk a basketball. If I tried I might could again.
 
If you didn't do it before and now do it or you are asking if it was done before it is "use to"

If you did it before and now don't it is "used to"

I used to own a Corvette before I had kids... I didn't use to worry about keeping my cars clean until I had kids.

So in your phrase saying you are trying to get accustomed to something that is happening means it has happened... i.e. used to.

And I am fairly certain I violate these rules frequently because it requires too much thought.
