Keep working at it! My advice is to do what I did (to gain confidence). I started using my left just for WTG and XTG on my right cheek. That way I could build my confidence and get my hand to steady. After a couple of times with that, I was good to go with the throat area. Now I don't have a thin neck (17 1/2 - 18 collar) but I do have prominent cheekbones and a prominent jaw so I get the worst of both worlds :)
Best of luck...and if you want to build dexterity with your left, start out by getting some kids blocks and forcing yourself to stack them with your left hand only. After that, move to something a little more challenging. The brain can be trained to do what you want, but if you're not born wired that way, you have to build the wires yourself.
