I know it's temporary and still early for me.

Yes, I can relate. Have been fretting that it feels like years of alcohol abuse has dumbed me down, compared to my younger days when my brain seemed to run at 100mph.
Funny, racing thoughts was a big excuse to drink for me. Now I fear I may have some cerebral damage. I too, like you, just hope it comes back with time (37 days sober here).

Oh I'm glad it's not just me.
Not that that makes it better for any of you!
I regularly find myself during conversation with the thaught in my head of the point I am going to put across, I continue on fine until i get right to the crux of it and there is where it happens, mysteriously the final bit has vanished from my mind. Leaving me with a panicked feeling of trying to blaa blaa the end whilst really trying hard not to say WHAT WAS I SAYING? whilst also waiting for the punch line to reappear.
HOPE THAT RINGS A BELL😂
