I first and formost would like to say that I think I speak for a majority of the, (as Prince likes to call them) Friends not Fans, that we are behind you AJ 100%. I have gotten the opprotunity to talk with you a while back and you were so sweet and it was actually very nice to have that chance. I have always tried to find out about the group as people and about what they have gone threw to get where they are and to stay there. This business is hard for anyone, but to be so young and have to literally grow up in the spotlight as you have makes it even harder. You are a very strong person and I know that this was a hard thing to face. Being an older fan (Brian and myself are the same age) sometimes makes it nicer because sometimes you see things and people at more than face value. Backstreet Boys is a group, the members are individuals. I am a single mom who's daughter got me into the group, it was you AJ that made me love you guys even more. There is a lot to you that you don't let people see but what you do is so nice. You are a remarkable human being and a wonderful person. Sometimes, that little extra help makes us see more clearly. I just want you to get better. I know you can do that. Because I know that anything you set your mind to you can do. It helped you see through your dream and it will help you get through this. We all love you and we hope and want only the best for you, always. You are in my prayers and in my heart. And if it makes a difference at all, I send some of my strength just in case you need a little more. Be safe remember you always have friends who love you.Many hugs and kisses,
Jennifer Roman

With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love

With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...
I DONT WANT U TO THINK THAT IM TELLIN U WHAT TO DO OR WHATS BEST 4 UR LIFE IM JUST SAYIN WHAT UR DOIN IS RIGHT AND U R A STRONG PERSON AND I KNWO THAT U CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS...

A.J.,
You have accomplished so much already by being able to admit your problem and by having the initiative to seek help.

Hey all bsb fans! I dropped to the floor when i heard the terrible news. I cried and i felt so bad for him and his family. the main reason that i was so upset was because i thought a.j was stronger than that, but i realized that he is a regular person and he has problems just like the rest of us and i hope he gets better because i love him and the rest of the boys. so good luck a.j i love you and i'm gonna pray for you and your family.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. And he did give you strength to take the step and admit to your problem which helped you take the step to get into rehab. We are all proud of you and hope you recover soon.

Hey AJ--
Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. None of us mind that the dates have been postponed. We only want to see you better. Remember, AJ, to keep close to God and stay strong. You can overcome this. Your family loves you, obviously the Boys love you (did you see them crying, AJ?!), and we, the fans, love you. We will always care about you and your well-being, please understand that. And congratulations. I hope you realize that you've already won! By making this step you have overcome a great hurdle. And now it's only a matter of time and faith till you get better. To the Boys, especially Nick, stay strong for AJ's sake, and thank you for being such wonderful friends to him by getting him this help. God Bless You, AJ. We love you so much.Ashley
