try Community Help Service (CHS), Boulevard de la Cambre, 1000 Bruxelles, Tel. 02/647 67 80. I am sure they can help. Good Luck!

There is a help number on each Lottery /Win for life ticket that you buy, I clearly remember seeing it. I found this on the National Lottery site

Good question. Useful answers. Community Health Services may be able to help (they're good) but if you have a gambling addiction it's really hard to beat it with outpatient treatment. It's hard to find rehab clinics that have the experience to treat this and I wouldn't be surprised if there are none in Belgium.

I'd like to recommend you get in touch with Chris Burn who is a therapist who works at the same Scottish rehab clinic that I work at -- Castle Craig Hospital (he's a therapist; I am their European rep). Chris was a gambling addict himself and he's written some interesting articles about gambling addiction on our blog (see www.castlecraig.co.uk/blog). If you like what you see there send me an email and I'll make sure he gets it. I am always keen to help anyone with a question about addiction, and I'm particularly interested in gambling addiction. My email address is: cee@castlecraig.co.uk

I am in Brussels to launch our new website in the Flemish language: www.castlecraig.be
