Dearest A.J.,
For me, as a devoted fan , it was hard for me to take in the news about your alcoholic and depression problem. When I saw Kevin crying and all the other guys trying to keep their tears in...i just started to cry myself. I mean i pray everyday and hope for the best for you and the guys that you may continue to bring joy and happiness to all your fans. I 'm here for you A.J, and your fans all around the world are too. I know that you can overcome this, because i know for a fact that you are a strong- minded, and brave individual. My thoughts and prayers are with you through every step of the way. Once you know it, you'll be out on stage again, doing what you love to do. Just keep your head high..and never give up hope...i love ya..and take carez..Much love and respect..
Love Always,
K.T.B.P.A.!!! Margaret Ramos

Dear AJ,
Hi.. I was upset and happy though at the same time when i heard about your admission to a rehabilitation center. I was upset because i don't think that you or anyone else deserves to feel such pain and suffering as you have. But in a way, I was glad to know that you were smart and mature enough to admit that you have a problem and that you were able to check yourself into a rehabilitation center. Just know that all of your fans love you very much and are behind you 110% not matter what happens. We love you AJ!!!

AJ.....
God there is so much I could say but I'll leave that to when I get to meet you. I know in my heart you have enough strength to get through this. God will never give anyone more than what they can handle, just don't lose faith. You are one of five reasons why I am no longer depressed. (The other four would be your other bandmates.) It was your voice and message and awesome personality that gave me the strength to overcome any and everything thrown my way. If I can do it you can! I know it's something that must be done on your own but you must remember that WE ALL ARE HERE FOR YOU! My heart, soul, and thoughts are always with you, eternally.

*sigh* I don't even know where to begin...but bear with me cause it might be long...When my friend came to my house today we were on our way out the door to see a Blink 182 concert and she told me about the news. I stood there with my mouth opened in shock and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Truthfully, I couldn't stop thinking about it throughout parts of the Blink concert! I can't imagine how hard it is for you to be on the road and have to deal with everyday problems as well as other sitautions othersdon't have to cope with, especially while being in the spotlight. I believe that if you were strong enough to admit to yourself that you had a problem in which you couldn't fix alone then you have the strengh in you to get through this. There are millions of us BSB fans that are behind you and always will be. Your music has been there to help me through some rough times in my life, and I know other fans feel the same way, now we as fans hope to lift you up and inspire you to get better, just like you and the other boys do for us. I appreciate you and the rest of the boys truthfullness in presenting this news to the fans, no lies, no cover-ups, just the truth...cause in reality we are all the same and we all have problems that we need help with so there should be no shame or judging, your getting help and that's all that's important. I pray that God will bless you and lead you through this struggle. Just think of the famous Footprints poem, "My precious child, I never left your side during your time of trial. Where you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." A.J. let God, the rest of the BSB boys, and your fans all over the world carry you through this struggle in your life and soon you will be back onstage like you were meant to be. I love and respect you and hope to see you out there soon. My prayers are also with the rest of the boys and your family, in hopes that they can find the strengh to deal with this situation with you.

A.J.,I don't even know if words can describe how I feel right now. When I heard the news about you going to rehab, I was shocked. I was so torn up inside that I just wanted to cry. When I saw you guys on the Today's Show last Monday, you seemed so happy as if everything were okay. But I now realize that it wasn't. It takes a lot of guts to admit that you need help and I am soooo proud of you for taking the first step towards your recovery. I am glad that the guys told us (the fans) about your situation because we want you to know that we are going to support you 110%. I want you to take as much time as you need to get better. Don't worry about us because we aren't going anywhere. We will be right here waiting for you with our arms wide open. If you ever want to talk, don't hesitate. I will always and I mean ALWAYS be here for you, okay? I want you to know that my love for you will always be strong and that I will be praying for you. Take care of yourself and God Bless. Love Always and Forever,
Tausha

To my man AJ,
Hey dude, I know this message will probably end up in page 200, so if u get to read it..it will really be weird. Anyway, when I heard the news about your problem, I was sad to hear you're goin through that. I really don't wanna make this long cause I know there's a lot of other fans of yours that would like to let you know their thoughts. So, just know that you have millions of people out there hoping you get better, you have a family that loves you and always will no matter what, you have 4 backstreet boys (or brothers) that would give-up everything to see you get better, and most importantly..you have God, and he loves you cause you're one of his sons. No matter what you do or have done he always will be there to support you, just like all of us. Your fans and friends. We're all gonna pray for you every night, man. I'm proud of you..your gonna make it! You've recognise you need and want help..that's a good start! Cause one can't help another if that person doesn't wants help. Keep on being strong cause together, AJ, we're gonna make it. Just believe. You can't let us down AJ..you never have let us down and I know you never will. So, man, we will all see you on the road soon, and hear you on the radio with a new album sooner than next year.
Your friend Oscar Zezatti.

I just found out the news today from an MTV News segment. I had always heard jokes on BSB humor sites about AJ having a problem with drinking. I didn't think much of it, lots of people drink that are 23. But it really hit me when I saw Nick's eyes tearing up on the segment.
It takes a real man to tell the world he has a problem and an even bigger man to decide to get help. I have a huge respect for AJ and the guys for dealing with it the way they have. When the whole ordeal was probably forcing them apart, being able to finally choose a way to deal must really show them how much they truly care about each other. I totally support you AJ. I hope that you know just how many fans stand behind you and care for you. If any band can get through this and come out stronger, it's the Backstreet Boys.

Dear AJ,
Hi! My name is Lisa, and I am 15 years old. I have been a fan of yours and the rest of BSB since the first time i heard your music, in 1997. I was going through a very rough time in my life and BSB helped me through it, you practically saved my life, and now i only wish there was something I could do to help you. But all I can do is send you my best wishes and prayers. I don't know how else to describe what I'm feeling but to send you the poem i wrote, so here it is.(Untitled)
I was lost,
all alone,
or so it seemed.
Nothing and no one could reach me.
No one cared, no one knew.
Everything seemed hopeless,
nothing mattered anymore.
Never appreciated, but often underestimated.
Always looking,
searching for a reason. But then I was found.
they were like angels.
I saw nothing left,
I wanted to die, end this hell I was living in.
But I was healed,
touched, finally reached.
Suddenly I saw why. I heard their words,
both in lyrics,
and from their hearts,
and I began to heal, as I still am,
like an open wound,
They nursed me,
They were my angels. Their words touched me,
they still do,
like nothing ever has.
Their voices soothed me,
like never before. So I simply want to say,
Thank You, BACKSTREET BOYS,
For Saving My Life
©1999 I know you can get through this, you're strong, i know it, and you have the full support of all your fans, no matter what. Take the time to get well, don't worry about getting back on tour, or making another album. That's not what's important right now, all that matters is for you to get well. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery and will be keeping you in my prayers. Love Always, Lisa Terlizzi

Aj... No one is perfect, I know that for a fact. Everyone has a problem. Whether it's throwing a fit about dumping the garbage or one like yours.
I'm sorry it had to happen to you, well, it shouldn't happen to anyone. This is really hard for me to write you this, because I don't know you like a friend. I hope that you get better and that your family's okay, that includes the rest of backstreet. You don't deserve this, no one does.

When I read about what A.J and the rest of the Boys were going thru, sadness just overwhelmed me. I had no idea the problems A.J. was going thru and i'm so glad that A.J. realized he need help and the Boys were there for him. That's what true friends are all about, I'm glad that the guys didn't postpone the Vancouver date 'cause i would like to see them as soon as possible w/ me being a big BSB fan!! I know that everythings going to be okay because the guys are so together that they can overcome anything, this is a huge obstacle in front of them and i know that they'll succeed. My deepest wishes and the best of luck to the boys. Backstreet Pride for Lyfe!!
