How long to get used to LHD cars?

I have never driven LHD cars and I’m afraid I won’t become accustomed to it. I can’t imagine driving on the other side of the road when I travel over seas. Will I ever get out of the habit of driving an RHD car? I heard the rear view mirrors aren’t in the same position, that I’ll have to get into the car on the other side, and the gear is not in the center of the car. I’ve been reassured that the pedals are set up the same so I just want to be sure that this difference won’t be dangerous. How long will it take for me to get used to this new driving style?
