AJ, First of all, we wanna say that we are behind you all the way. We've seen you in Charlotte twice, Greenville and Raleigh and despite your condition you still managed to entertain us over and over again!! That is what we call a true performer!! We just want you to know that no matter what you or any of the Boys are going through, you can ALWAYS count on us fans to be behind you no matter what. Please know that we think no differently of you, this is just a phase to try to escape from your problems. We truly believe with all of our hearts that you will overcome this and be twice as strong as you once were. You and the rest of the group are always in our hearts, minds, and prayers. Please know that each and every one of the Backstreet Boys mean soooo very much to us. We love you all very much!!!

Dear AJ, Kevin, Howie, Brian and Nick,
First I want to say I give all my wishes and prayers to AJ's health. I know you will make it through this. I have a concert an Aug. 13 in Cail, when I found out what was going on I cried, not because the show might have been cancled but because I was scared for you(AJ). I know you can beat this. You 5 wonderful guys have all of my support!!! And no matter the outcome you guys will always have it! Most of my friends see you guys only as the Backstreet Boys, but I have always seen you as real people w/ a real life. I just want you to get better before you do anything. I love you all with all my heart! Remember that you guys have all of my love, support, and everything else. AJ I know you have it in you! You can do it, make it through! Good Luck! I love you guys!
Love,
~*Lindsey Martin*~

Don´t forget all the BSB fans stay with you as long as it takes thats not important. Please take care of you and we will pray for you every day and we want that you know that you are in our hearts and you will forever. You are always on our mind every day and every night!!!!!

Dear Aj There are so many people that look up to you and love you and I think i'm one of those people even though you make mistakes, the way we all do. God always forgives us for them and here is somthing i thought might cheer you up during thess hard times:
- Somewhere There's Someone Who Dreams Of Your smile, And Finds In Your Presence That Life Is Worth While, So When You Are Lonely, Remember It's True: Somebody, Somewhere Is Thinking Of You -
Hope you like it and get better soon and stay strong.
God Bless You,
Love,
Your #1 Fan Brittany

AJ,Everything that i could say would be exactly what everyone else who cares so much has already said. I could and can say how important you are to millions and millions of people around the world and how much we all want you to get better. How much your happiness means to all of us and i know that if you could only be heathly and problem free without being a "Backstreet Boy" that we would all stand behind you in every single way. I also wanted to say how proud everyone is of you, you took the huge chance of losing everything that you've worked so hard for. I've grown up with alcoholics around, and i could never stand what the alcohol did to whoever that person was....but there's a huge difference with you....you didn't let it ruin everything you stand for. Making a choice like you did is extremely difficult normally but when someone like yourself is in the spotlight 24 hours had to be one of them most challenging things you've ever had to decide. We are all so proud of you and I wanted you to know that you are in everyone's prayers! We love you!

Hey A.J.
I want you to know that you are the best because you took this situation and did what you had to do by seeking help. I wish the best for you, your family, the rest of the Boys, and the fans. When I heard what happened, I was afraid, but I know no matter what you will pull through standing strong with your head up as always. Just remember there is always someone who cares for you and your fans love you because of who you are. I love you so much Bone.
Get better for me.
I'll keep you in my prayers!
Keep your head up Howie, Brian, Kevin, Nick, and you too A.J.!

AJ,There's not really any words right now that I could type that would make you automatically well, but there are some things that I can say to help you feel a little better....maybe. I just wanted to tell you that I am behind you all the way through this. You were a strong man to admit such a big thing to someone, and I love the fact that you are so determined to get better. Most stars would go on with their lives, thinking that it would all go away...but you knew better, and that takes something special. I sincerely hope you get well soon, and my thoughts and prayers are with you every step of your recovery. I will be thinkin of u...doin your little therapy sessions with stuffy little french doctors who don't understand anything talking through their noses at you with their little wire rimmed spectacles, in a cold room, saying things that make no sense whatsoever...haha! Lucky you! (Just wanted to lighten things up a little)
Love ya and good luck,
Alex
