Dear AJ~
I'm so glad you decided to get help for this. I know you'll make it through and come out stong. I think just telling your fans shows how strong you already are. I know a lot of artists would have keep it a secreat for fear of reticule, but I for one am really glad you let us fans know. It just shows how much you and the guys do care for us and so now its are turn to show you and let you know that once again we are here for you and always will be.
I wish you the best and my love and prays are with you and the guys! Get better AJ we miss and care for you deeply.Just a fan,
CeCe

A.J. our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have confidence that you will get better because it's something you want to do for yourself. You have a lot of support from your mother and 4 "brothers" not to mention the 4 of us and a lot of other fans.
To all of BSB thank you for being open and honest about A.J.'s problem. You truly are role models and we have alot of respect for you all. My husband is even impressed with the way you handled this and has a lot of respect for you. It couldn't have been an easy decision to postpone your tour but we have a lot of respect that you didn't want to continue without an integral part of the group,someone you consider a brother. We were supposed to go to your Nassau Coliseum concert on July 18th but we'll be at the rescheduled date even if you have to postpone again.
Denise you have a lot to be proud of in A.J.. He recognized he had a problem was adult about it and asked for help before it was too late. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as well.

A.J You are the bravest person I know! It must have taken so much out of you (and your pride) to make a decision like the one you made.
Remember that "all good comes to those that love the Lord" Trust in Jesus and you will be alright.
The courage you have shown always be remembered by all your fans, and will probably be an encouragement to others to.
I just want to say one more thing:
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, L LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

dearest bsb,
i've been a fan since '97. i know that isn't as long as some of these other people have been, but i consider myself a true fan. i guess what i am trying to say is that i've seen you guys go through a whole lot.
brian's heart surgery
howie's sister passing away
legal battles
and much much much more.
and yet you all pulled through. that shows courage, honor, and strength. think of this ordeal with aj as another thing you can get through together. after it is over and done with, you will be able to look back and say, "we did it, and it made us stronger."also, i think some words in your song "everyone" fits with this. ironically, aj sings this verse:
"we've been inside the circus.
we take the pleasure with the pain.
i guess there's something about us.
whatever comes around we'll always stay the same."
keep that in mind. "whatever comes around, you'll always stay the same."
you can do it aj, i know you can.
also, i have a bible verse that comes to mind. brian used it in their first album in his thank yous. it's phil. 4:13="I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."
remember that, God will help you through anything. just keep your head up to the clouds and don't be too proud to ask for help once in a while.

Dear AJ,
First and foremost I want to let you know that it was very admirable for you to seek help the way you have. A lot of people with the same problems as you never get help and I think it takes a strong person, especially someone in the public eye such as yourself, to do that. I also want you to know that I am 100% behind you in this. I wish I could do more than a simple note written to you amongst many others. I wish I could sit down with you and let you talk to someone who has been through the same things. I have battled with depression, anxiety, and alcohol myself. It's not easy to get help, but you have already conquered the first step, and I promise you there is a light at the end of that tunnel. Like I said, I wish that there was something else I could do to help you because you were there for me through all kinds of hell. You will probably never know the extent in which you helped me get through some pretty rough times in my life. For that I thank you, and you will always hold a very special place in my heart. AJ, I know you will get through this and come out of it even stronger. I believe in you. And I love you. Not only as a Backstreet Boy who's up there every night giving it his all. But more importantly, as a person. I got your back babe. Keep your head up...your future's looking good.
Your fan and friend for life,
Erin
