Why do you reach out for your phone, fridge, or a bottle? There is a deeper need this mechanism is trying to fulfill.
In the moment of the urge, even though it's extremely hard, make a pause. Feel your feet on the ground. Notice the sounds and smells around you. Touch your clothes, and ask, "What emotions are alive for me right now?" and "What do I really need?"

Work with the nervous system to heal this at the root.
