aj,
you as an individual must have the courage to overcome this, and i am almost positive you do. no matter what happens, your fans are behind you 100% , you have the strength and power to make things better for yourself. if 30 days is not enough then take as much time as you need....many of us don't understand what it is that your going through but we do understand that it takes time. good luck aj!!!! take care and we can't wait til the bone daddy is back in business. love ya!

AJ, I posted on here earlier and then while I was listening to my BSB albums I came across a song that has given me inspiration in rough times, and I hope the lyrics to your song can do the same for you...
Roll With ItIf you ever feel like no one cares
when you try your best but you get no where
don't give in
cause good times will come again
When they criticize every move you make
and you've had as much as you are gonna take
don't you worry just so you know things will change
and when it seems as though nobody understands AJ
don't you let your head hang down you gotta adjust to the plan
you gotta roll with it
JUST ROLL WITH IT
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE
JUST ROLL WITH IT
IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
JUST ROLL WITH IT
DON'T PUT YOURSELF DOWN
If you just can't find someone to trust
if you give your heart but you don't get much
don't you worry
your time is gonna come
BACKSTREET BOYS ROLL WITH IT
B-BOYS FANS ROLL WITH IT
ANYBODY ROLL WITH IT
EVERYBODY JUST ROLL WITH IT...
AJ don't let your head hang down babe you are such a strong man, we all trust you, care for you, support you, pray for you, and most of all we all love you, and are here "rolling with it" alongside you....
To the rest of the guys, NICK, BRIAN, HOWIE, AND KEVIN...just believe in us... your fans, we are gonna stay by your side no matter what obstacles are put against us, we love each and every one of you, hold together strong like you have done before when times got tough, we are here for you through thick and thin...
Ms. McLean, we all know its hard for you right now to see your son in pain, Ms. McLean, you are such a strong woman and we know you can pull through, take good care of AJ for us, we love and support you...
YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS....God makes things happen for a reason, I know this will strengthen your friendships with yourselves and your fans....as Nick has stated: As long as you have your fans you can conquer anything...It's so true, we're ready to battle right along side you guys...I love you all! REMEMBER JUST ROLL WITH IT, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE, JUST ROLL WITH IT!!!
-XOXO-

AJ has taken a very brave step in admitting he needs help. My heart goes out to him and the fellas. AJ's health is far more important than the tour. We fans will wait patiently until AJ gets better and pray for him everyday.

Aj,
I have seen this happen to a member of my own family. You, unlike him, were able to admitt your problem. You might never read this, but if you only could see how fast and far the news spread and how much support is behind you right now! It brought fans to tears on TRL yesterday, brought me to tears to learn what you are going through, and it hits close to home.
I hope you have the strenghth to get over it, and know that no matter what, the guys love you and all you fans love you in a way only fans can. WE LOVE YOU AJ!

A.J I want to help you in some way. Because I admire what you did. And I know that I can't do anything huge. But I'm sure gonna try. Every night before I sleep, I'll remember you in my prayers. I'll pray to God with all my might for you. I know that you'll make it through. And come out better than ever. Because of the kind of person you are. Your strength and determination shine through. So with the grace of God and all of your friends and fans, you're gonna make it through. I know it and so does everyone else. We're praying for you. Best of luck and a bundle of good wishes.
Love,
Kimberly

Dear A.J., Well I was surprised when I opened my local newspaper and read about what was goin' on with ya. I would like to say that you are in the right place. Try to be patient as you go through recovery, don't expect things to happen overnite. You are lucky that you have the rest of the group to stand by you. I saw them on TRL and they seemed to be very affected by what was happening to you. I am a mom of an fan of BSB and especially you A.J. and I am proud of the way you handled the rehab by going public with it. Remember that little saying "One day at a time" . I have been to four of your alls concerts and thoroughly enjoyed myself. i am looking forward to see what else you will write and sing. I also heard an excerpt from what you wrote on TRL. Tell your mom nothin but love for ya.
