Going from Pencil to Digital

I'm an older cartoonist who learned to draw with pencil, paper, and a used copy of "How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way" (which admittedly resulted in some bad habits) and I'm looking to try and upgrade to the digital stuff most artists do these days. Thing is, it's like trying to teach myself how to walk with my arms instead of my legs, y'know? It feels like I'm trying to use a part of my brain that's never been involved with the process before,, like I'm drawing with my off-hand, and it keeps frustrating me.
Is there any hope for me (I know, "Nope"), and does anyone have any tips or recommendations they can give? I have a Bamboo tablet and a cracked copy of Paint Shop Pro (normally used for scanning my sketchbook) that I'm dying to learn how to actually USE.
