I am going through my emergency supplies and seeing how long I can do this. Tweaking the list for the next catastrophe, sigh. So, being very parsimonious about portions which is GREAT, I am shedding lots of weight. Being serious about nutrition. I have a big spinach stash in freezer. Also maybe 5 gallons of my Legendary Gumbo which I am saving in case I contract The Virus. I have some herbs in the garden (didn't get my summer crop in, sigh) many onion greens. I am eating TONS of beans and they are super creamy cooked in my instant cooker thing. Red, White, Black, Black-eyed, Lentils, Chickpeas. Making them with lots of bean juice which I drink as a snack. Frozen salmon steaks, these are awesome. now, only a few red potatoes and sweet potatoes left. Black rice, white rice, red rice. Masa Harina to make tortillas. A grated brick of cheddar in the freezer. Muscle Milk !!!!! down to last 6 eggs, a dozen beaten and froze in ice cube trays. Haven't had a delivery in 30 days except for gifts from the farm which I inhaled, ha ha ha. Had this been hurricane, freezer wouldn't be on so, I am lucky to have power and haven't started on my 'real' hurricane supplies. Foodstuffs requiring no cooking. Don't know whether I will continue my experiment. I am dreaming of FOOD.

You are not helpless, far from helpless. You are helping your addiction instead of helping yourself. relapse is relapse is relapse.... smoking one puff or a carton is smoking. One Puff, one puff , and you re-ignite the addiction. Please do yourself a favor and study, we can't help you until you help yourself.

You really should learn about your/our nicotine addiction From some of your questions I wonder if you have been learning about your addiction. Put in the time. Not only will you be educated you will pass the time well when craving. I'll Be A Nervous Wreck Forever If I Quit Smoking Why Do Smokers Smoke have a think about our friend, @Sirius 's words, "The next time a craving plunks down on your face ask yourself, "What price you are willing to pay to own yourself?"

Finding Cigarettes and from Joel's post, Here is a short funny clinic story about unexpectedly finding a cigarette and the reaction it may illicit Many years ago I had a clinic graduate relate an incident to me. He had come in the third night of one of my clinics for reinforcement after he had been off for a number of months. He told me that a couple of days earlier he found himself tempted to have a cigarette. He was in a men's room at his work where he saw a a single cigarette (his brand) and a lighter sitting on top of the urinal and all of a sudden thought to himself how tempting it was and how easy it would be to just light the cigarette and take a puff. I asked him when was the last time he ever saw anything else on a urinal in a men's room that he was somehow tempted to put into his mouth. At that he smiled and said, "point well taken." He has been fine since that realization.
