So accustomed to being in a pickle (6)

I believe the answer is:

soused

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in a pickle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'so accustomed' is the wordplay.
'accustomed' becomes 'used' (I've seen this in another clue).
'so'+'used'='SOUSED'

'to being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soused that I've seen before include "Soaked, pickled (gherkin); drunk (colloq.)" , "Marinated" , "Drenched with liquid" , "Drunk or immersed in liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
