into rehab,I was both sad and very proud.You are taking a bold move by getting help.I love you and are praying for you everyday.
Sincerely,
Alicia
P.S. Hope You Get To Feeling Better Soon!!!!!!

Dearest AJ,
I already submitted an entry (same name and all) but I'd just like to say that I haven't seen any negative feedback from anyone anywhere! Us [the fans] are so very proud of you! I printed off a few articles from this site and I have to say that I can't read them yet! It makes me cry too much but I'm very proud of you! You're making a difference... you're showing people that even if you're in the spotlight you're still human and willing to admit that you need help! This may help other people {not in the spotlight} that getting help isn't maybe as hard and they may be willing to seek the help they need! I also suffer from depression and because you've admitted to needing help... I can deal with mine better. Thank You
Also, in March (2000) when you came to Toronto on tour I was lucky enough to have 4th row center seats and extremely lucky to get a teddy bear from you when you were attached to the wires... I know you probably have no memory of this... which I understand but I'd like to Thank You [again] as that was a tough year for me and that small gift helped so much... I can't even begin to describe it!!!!!
I wish you all the best and am praying for a fast recovery (although take as much time as you need - even if it is more than a month) and am behind any decision you make with 110%!!!!!Lots of Props and Love

Although I was surprised at the announcement about AJ on Monday, I was so glad that the guys shared the information with the fans. I believe that that was a wonderful gesture. I am also so happy to see that AJ is getting the help that he needs and that he is receiving so much support and love from the rest of the guys as well as the public. AJ, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you are an amazing person and performer and I know that you will come through this an even better and stronger person. I love you and wish all the best.

AJ, AJ, AJ,
You never fail to amaze me. Every time I see you, you have a new hair cut or goatee style. When I heard the news about your depression I thought why? Every time you see AJ you're so happy. This can't happen to him. Well I was wrong I know it can happen to anyone. I'm glad you realized you needed help and are getting it. Everyone loves you AJ and wants you to get better. I would wait forever just to see you better and happy. That's what everyone wants for you is to be happy and that's what you want for yourself is to be happy. I love you AJ, and you are in my prayers. God Bless!

Dear AJ, I don't know exactly how to start this so I'm just gonna start it. I know exactly how it feels to lose someone close to you, my brother got murdered when I was 6, and now I'm 13, he was 16 at the time he was about a month and a half away from his 17th birthday and 2 years away from graduating. And almost 7 years later I'm still struggling with it, and sometimes I think about turning to drugs and alcohol, but then I look at everything my sister went through. I mean she's done the drugs, she's done the alcohol, but she never got help. And my grandpa died about 2 and half years ago the day after his birthday and ever since my brother died back in 1994, I've known about 13/14 other people that have died, like 3/4 of them died because of drunk driving and another one drank himself to death, so I know what it's like to lose someone. I give you all the credit in the world, AJ, I really do, for 1. admitting you had a problem and 2. doing something about it. 'Cause you know there are some people out there that would rather drink and die then get help and live, and I'm glad you weren't one of those people, but I know that there's more going on in your lives then what the media show. And I know that you hold things inside that you want to tell people but you don't know how, right? See me, I hold things inside too, I put up with just about everything anybody dishes out, good or bad, and even if it's something that hurts me, I don't say anything, I put on an act to let everybody think I'm ok, ya know? Look, you got thousands and thousands of fans that are supporting you all the way, including me and people like your mom. And I know that when I go to my not only first ever Backstreet Boys concert, but my first ever concert, down in Las Vegas on August 17 even though I live up here in Wyoming, you're going to be there. And I also hope that one day, maybe not at the concert, but one day I get to meet you and the rest of the band, you know? and even if it doesn't happen in this lifetime, it's alright to dream, ain't it? Today on TRL your mom said that you were gonna use your experience to help others, how are you gonna do that? Are you like gonna go around talking about it? Or start a foundation against drinking? But, I'm behind you 150%, AJ, I'm there for you all the way, no matter what happens, I'm not gonna bail on you. You can trust me, I promise you. Love Lots, Allison

AJ,Just read your Mom's comments on your 3rd day in Rehab. I am so relieved to hear that you are feeling happy and relieved. Thank God. I am hoping and praying for you and it looks as though all of the prayers from all of your fans are helping (maybe even a little?). If all this outpouring of love and prayer doesn't touch you and let you know how much you are loved, then I don't know what will! I am so impressed at how everyone is taking this news and I am very happy to hear of your progress so far. There isn't much that I can say that already hasn't been said a thousand times. Just know that we all love you and are thinking of you and praying for you. You just concentrate on getting better! Much Love,
Sheli, Toronto

When I arrived home, on Tuesday, at about 1:00 pm, I turned on the radio, and the first thing that I heard was "Backstreet Boys have to posponed the next month of their concerts, 'cause A.J. was going to get treatment for alcohol abuse and depression. I felt terrible. I mean, A.J. is a good guy, and he doesn't deserve being unhappy, 'cause he cas make a lot of people happy (Everytime we are down, YOU can make it right, and that makes YOU larger than life!). Although I'm a little worried about him, I know that he is going to be alright, 'cause he is strong and he has lots of people who love him. Alex, If you are reading this, I'm proud of you, 'cause I think that accept that you have a problem and that you was needing help must be very hard. I love you, and I will always love you, Get well early!!!!! Kisses, Vapy

Dear AJ I donno what a guy in your situation want to hear. When that kind of things happen, I never know what to say or do, I want to help more than anything but I just don’t know how. First I want to thank you for being true to your fans…we appreciate this so much, it means a lot. We’ll remember this forever. ‘Cause we’re so glad to know you trust us and haven’t lie. We respect you for telling the world the truth and much more for the decision you made. I want you to know that no matter how long it’ll take, your fans won’t be mad, we don’t care about the concerts and stuff. We only want you to be happy and healthy again. So take all the time you need, we’ll be behind you all the way. We’ll be going through this WITH you, now we’re crying with you and tomorrow, we’ll be happy again…always with you. I truly hope it will help you feel better. Whatever what are the reasons for all you’re going through, I’ll be there for you, really…whenever you need someone to tell you things will be alright, I’ll be there…because you’re someone amazing and I want you to see it. You did so much for me (and your fans) through the years…I really wish I could help somehow…because it’s all I want, to see you happy. I truly care about you. Now all I can do is pray for you, ask God to walk every step with you…
Stay strong no matter what…I know you can, I trust you, all problems can be solve in a way or another. Tonight, look up in the sky, the stars will all be shinning for you only. Even the ones you can’t see. Every single star is a loving heart praying for you. Your time will come again. With love and care. Genn

Hey Alex,
I just want to say that you have so much strenght and courage to admit to your problem. I really look up to you for that. Yes, of course when I found out, I was balling my eyes out and I couldn't believe it, but I came to realize that this is for the best! You are doing the right thing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I went through the same thing with my older brother who is now 20 and leaving a healthy life. It is a very difficult time but you are in my thoughts and prays everyday and I wish you the best of luck! I really hope I get to meet you when you come to Cincy, b/c it is my 16th B-day! I love you so much and I here to support you all the way. Love Always & Forever, Maria
