AJ,
My name is lindsay im 15 and been a Backstreetboys fan for 5 years.When I heard yestarday on TRL from the guys that u were going in to rehab for 30 days I started brusting in to tears I was so upset. Also Im glad that u came straight out and said I need a problem and I need help. That showed alot of guts and it showed that u really care about ur health. I was supposed to the concert next week on the 18th but i guess that will never happen, I dont care about a concert right all I care about is u getting better really really fast. Also im praying for u all the way, and hope u get better soon

AJ,
Please know that there are literally millions of people who are praying for you and wanting only the best for you. Please take the time you need to recover - the tour can wait, the fans can wait, but your health and well being can not wait. I think you are a very brave, strong man to admit you have a problem that you can not handle on your own. I know your bandmates will give you as much love and support as they possibly can. Let God help you, too. With His help you will be able to regain the control you are looking for in your life. I will keep you in my thoughts in prayers.

"So help me, I can't win this war.." SOMHyou were wrong AJ. You just proved that you were the only one who could help yourself and we are all so proud of you for that. You made the first and the bigger step. My concert was postponed but I don't care: your health comes first and we just want you to feel better again. We still love you and support you no matter what.

Hey AJ!!I want to say that I support you in all you are doing for yourself. I am also proud that you admitted you had a problem therefore you can get help. There are some people who don't admit it and then when they do, it is too late for them. It's a hard thing to do, admitting that you need help for alcohol. I realize that there are other factors like depression and anxiety in your situation, but the alcohol issue is the biggest. Depression comes next, at least in my book.
I just wanted to tell you that we all love you for who you are and we are glad that you went and got yourself help.
I called the kids I babysit, who I also consider my little sisters, and they want to say they love you and that they understand why you are doing this. Their names are Katie and Allie, if you wanna know.
Love ya,
Mandi

Well, I don't know where to start. AJ, I know you can come through this. When I saw the other guys break the news on TRL, I started crying. I didn't want to, it's just that I felt so bad for the other guys and the look on Nick's face was just... well, I can't even describe how sad he looked. But once again AJ I know you will be strong and pull through this. You're on my mind constantly and I'll be thinking of you through this whole thing.

Hey, I heard about what happened on the news last night, and after they told the story, they said that fans were disappointed. I wasn't disappointed at all. For me, it almost felt like I was in the same boat. Just a couple days ago, I finally told my parents that I'm positive I have Social Anxiety Disorder, and I want to get help somehow. I know what I'm dealing with is totally different from what AJ's dealing with, but it was like we both went through it at the same time. Whether that sounds weird or not, I don't know. Anyway, I'm confident that AJ's going to make it through this. As for me, when I'm feeling down, I can still put in their cd and feel better, no matter what. Forever a Fan
