benzo withdrawal - when will I be in the clear?

I wouldā€™ve posted this in the benzo subreddit but Iā€™m also going to ask about some other drugs

Essentially, I got around 60 bars of bromazelam (RC chemical Xanax) in late April. I quickly realized they were a decent bit under the advertised dose, leading me to feel less bad about popping them (advertised at 3.5 mg, my guess would be around 1.5-2 mg). After going through about 45 of them in less than a month I realized it was an issue and ordered 30 10 mg valiums (sealed in pharma packaging). Those arrived June 3rd, by then I had about 5 green bars left. Starting when they arrived, I basically switched over entirely to the Valium. At first I was taking them VERY quickly but within a few days I realized I was fucking up and slowed down. By June 9th I had decided to limit myself to 20 mg every other day. Less than a week later I went down do 15 mg every other day (June 14th). After around a week I was doing only 10 mg every other day. On the 23rd of June I did a very tiny dose of 5 mg, feeling like I had been doing a decent job at tapering. However I made a somewhat big slip up on June 25th where I ended up doing not only a full 10 mg Valium but also a 2 mg ALP (not the ones from before) bar and on top of that 2/3 of one of the aforementioned bromazelam bars. After that slip up 8 days ago I went cold turkey, feeling confident I wouldnā€™t have any seizures due to tapering (even if it was a really quick taper). To be honest, it hasnā€™t been that bad this time around. Around the 3rd day sleep started becoming very difficult and I was getting less than 3 hours a night. Temperature regulation has been pretty awful and my anxiety has obviously been through the roof. Last night I managed to get an okay night sleep (5-6 hours) but I feel like my anxiety, brain fog, and temperature regulation isnā€™t getting any better. I saw many people agreeing that their Valium withdrawal didnā€™t even START for like a week after their final dosage. Now that Iā€™ve put out all the info I was wondering: 1. Do I have to worry about withdrawaling from Valium? I was worried about the RC Bars and used it to taper. In total I went through 250 mg of Valium in less than a month. Iā€™m worried that all a sudden withdrawals are gonna get even worse because of the Valium half life, but I personally feel like I didnā€™t do that much especially because I felt pretty shit the entire time I was tapering. 2. Is all this stuff I hear about ā€œwickingā€ accurate? Iā€™ve been practicing my self control by just staring at all my benzos (I have at least 100 pills from a few different vendors that I got before I was truly committed to stopping) and I feel like I could be able to actually limit myself if I were to start again. But I donā€™t want to take ONE bar weeks after the withdrawals and have the withdrawals come back full force. 3. When can I do other substances ? I have a decent bit of 10 mg oxys, weed, XTC. I have been staying off all these because my anxiety has been really bad and I feel like getting high would just make that worse. If anyone read this far thank you for your time ! Remember guys, make sure yall watch how often youā€™re taking stuff. This is my third time quitting, each time I learn something new.
