In "Notorious Nineteen" by Janet Evanovich, the protagonist Lucille reveals that she's attending Sex Addicts Anonymous, a decision that hasn’t been beneficial for her. Her friend Lula inquires about the experience, leading Lucille to share her frustrations. She describes the meetings as a nightmare, highlighting the absurdity of being surrounded by people with similar struggles.

Lucille likens the situation to being in a bakery with all items free but being unable to indulge, emphasizing the challenge of confronting temptation while trying to recover. This analogy captures the intensity of her experience and illustrates the struggle of dealing with desires in an environment that is not conducive to her personal growth.
