Well, going cold turkey while eating cold turkey at 3 a.m. Quite fitting!
It sounds like you are really having a rough go of it. Withdrawal is definitely real and can really suck and be a big challenge. Your symptoms seem typical as I'm sure you have read about on here. Digestion issues, anxiety, and insomnia. I had all of these when I quit 3 years ago, after a solid 20 years of use. I was just a month shy of 52 when I quit. I did not have night sweats but I was really cold at night--I would wrap up in several blankets, wear multiple layers of clothing and a hat.
You will get better. It could take a while. You have been using cannabis for a long time so your body is very used to having it. But over time, it will get used to not having it.
You didn't talk a whole lot about it, but it does seem like you have a fair amount of resolve about quitting. You got rid of your stash and it seems like a light sort of went on in your head when you realized "this is not normal". Keep that in my mind if you ever start to think about using again. Reach out for help if you need to. Your doctor or a therapist. Marijuana Anonymous helped me quite a bit for a time. There happens to be a meeting here in my tiny California beach town, but they have a website as well. This website has also been (and continues to be) very helpful and a great resource of information and personal experiences. Keep your mind and body busy. Hopefully you will be able to collect unemployment.
So ya, definitely stick with it. It will get better and it really is worth it. I am so happy to not have cannabis as part of my life any longer. I feel so much better.
All the best
Keep us updated on your progress
