Dealt with that total embarrassment too. If it helps make you feel better this is what I attribute it to. When we were drinking our brains were clouded and slow. Once we quit we still sit in the fog for a while but when it begins to lift organs begin to heal. The brain gets so overexcited at the clarity it gets overwhelmed and tries to think of 20 things at once. So when you're talking to someone although you are paying attention, the brain is still reveling in it's new ability and tries to think of everything at once. Like it's saying "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I can think, I can think, I can think" You're not really aware of this but all of a sudden you get lost in the moment and the current conversation goes right out the window.

At least that's what I'm going with
