AJ:
I am so sorry to hear about what happened. I know personally what rehab for alchohal and long term therepy for depression is like because I have been through both. And I am living proof that you can overcome these obstacles. AJ, all your fans love you and are waiting for a happy recovery, even if it takes longer than we want. You are in my prayers and thoughts.Love,
Suzy

It takes a strong individual to admit, not only to himself, but to the world that he has a problem and needs help. There is no shame in admitting that you are human and have weaknesses like everyone of us. AJ is my hero! He will come out of this better and more badass than ever. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. BSB pride for Life!!

I am soo glad that you guys came on television and told everyone about A.J. problems. You guys have enough guts to tell your fans and the rest of the world about A.J., and I have a whole lot of respect for you guys and your music. You guys are just like everyone in this world we all have problems and we got to face them and I am glad that A.J. is getting help about his problems. Alot of people in this world think that celebrities don't have problems like everyone else but they do. You guys are just amazing and you have heart for each other and you love each other and that what makes you a good group. I can't say that I know you guys but I don't but I do know that you guys seem really nice and that you care about your fans and each other. Well, I wish you best of luck A.J. and your mom and the rest of you guys and your families too.A fan always,

Dear A.J.,
I'm 12 and I understand your problems aren't the best things for me to be hearing,but I really don't care!What I care about, and what makes you my hero is that you were able to admit that you had a problem and you needed some help. People I know try to hide their problems and lie about them.I know you will make it, no matter what happens. I'm behind you all the way and you'll always be my hero. I LOVE you always! Love,
Your #1 fan, Kristi T.
P.S. I'm praying
for you every
day and every
night!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't usually post anything here on this site, I'm more of a surfer but I feel that I have to this time.I don't know if A.J., any of the other members, or anyone remotely associated with the guys will ever read this but I just wanted to say that A.J., you will be in my thoughts & prayers. Letting us fans know the truth was the bravest thing anyone could have done & if you can admit that you have a problem to millions of people, you can do anything. I know you'll beat it. Don't get better for the BSB sakes or anyone elses but yourself. You're the most important person right now & please just focus on that.
No matter what, you will always have a fan in me as well as all the other millions of Backstreet Boys fans. We love you and support you 100%. The only thing that matters to us now is your health & your happiness. God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers go out to AJ and his family. From personal experience in my own family, I know this will not be an easy time for him or his family. But AJ is a good and strong person. I know he will overcome this and return to doing what he does best - making his fans happy. Stay strong AJ! I know you can get through this!
