I'm stuck underground.
- I can't mine any further to reach lava. There is no water nearby, and zombies can't reach me.
- I can't see to find any blocks to suffocate my character.
- NBTEdit and similar programs don't work on Mac, so I can't edit my save file to escape.
- I have hardly any blocks so cannot jump and lay my way up.
- I can't see, and do not have any torches, so can't make a staircase back up.
- I don't want to make new save as I have an awesome house filled with stuff that took me ages to find.
How can I get back to the surface?

You can do a couple of things. If you have a pickaxe, then you can mine the block directly above you, then collect the stone and jump + place it below you. Do this repeatedly until you reach the surface.
If you don't have a pickaxe, it will take a little longer since you can't collect stone without one. Instead, just mine out blocks in a staircase fashion, using your hands.
