Dear AJ, Ok so you may never read this but then again you never know. I can't tell you how proud I am of you right now. Since 1997 when I was first introduced to the Backstreet Boys I have felt a strong connections with all of you. Sure at first like every other teenage girl I liked Nick the best based on looks. But as I grew as a fan and started to get to know you guys better I learned to respect you and admire you as a person. Like Howie said on MTV yeah everyone makes mistakes even you and thats ok because that is what you have your mom and the rest of the guys for. You also have us your fans, speaking on my behalf now it takes a lot of courage to do what you did. So more power to you. Take it easy, you can do it, And remember your grandma is probably very proud of you right now. Now you can always count on me to be a fan and support you (not just AJ but all of ya) through ups and downs. Good Luck and I hope to see the Bone daddy back in action soon. =0) Muah

Hey AJ!I just want you to know that all your fans are supporting you and praying for you! I'm sure everyone is as proud as I am that you admitted to needing help, and we all respect and admire your decision. Always remember that your fans will stick with you through thick and thin and we know you can pull through this ( of course you can, you're AJ!) Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I love you and I'll pray for you everyday!
BACKSTREET BOYS FOREVER!!
Goodluck,

Keep optimism and God in your soul and sights and you'll do just fine. Look at the world around you in prespective, and realize everything you have good in your life. Those are the things that will help you along. Be positive and just chill! I luv you , man!

dear brian aj howie kevin nick and brian
first i want to tell you how glad i am that you told us(the fans) about aj's situation. that really ment alot to us that you didn't try and hide it.i respect you alot for that.aj my mom and dad also wish you the best of luck. the've been there they now what i'ts like. it was a big slap in the face when i found out. it was so unreal hearing you guys say it. i kinda already knew though don't ask im just really good at reading people. aj please get better but not for me or u're family and friends. do it for u're self. take all the time you need to recover. you took the first step the rest is easy from there. you r extremly lucky to have such loving and caring people surrounding you. it is obvious that you r extremly close to one another.i know you will get through this and you will be stronger than you've ever been. it hurts to see you go through this but i no its for the best. i no i don't know you guys but you have become such a big part of my life. every time i hear about it or see you on tv i just want to hug you and make it all go away but thats a lil impossible. so i can only offer my prayers and support. to you guys and anyone who reads this my inbox is always open.and i lik to talk alot probaly more than i should. amosbsb6@yahoo.com

AJ YESTERDAY, I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOUR ALCOHOL PROBLEM AND DEPRESSION ANXIETY. WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU ARE GONNA GET HELP, I WAS HAPPY FOR YOU. I HAVE THE SAME SITUATION AS YOU HAVE. MY UNCLE DIED FOR ALCOHOLISM. FOR SOME REASON, I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE HIS EYES WERE YELLOW,CROOKED TEETH,AND HOW A HEAVY DRINKER HE WAS. I ALSO HEARD THAT YOU LOST YOUR GRANDMA RECENTLY; I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THAT,AND I CAN RELATE TO THAT. MY AUNT DIED TWO YEARS AGO AND I WAS DEVASTATED. I HAVE TO REALIZE THAT I NEED TO EXCEPT DEATH AND MOVE ON. I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR YO TO EXCEPT BECAUSE SHE'S LIKE A SECOND MOTHER TO YOU. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER AFTER 30 DAYS. I HAVE LOTS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. GET WELL SOON,BONE. LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!
HUGS & KISSES,
