AJ-Weather or not you read this the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem, which you have done and so I wish you well on your road to recovery. You might not think so right now, but god is with you and he loves each and everyone of his children. You will be in my prayers tonight.

I watched TRL and saw the boys talking about A.J. and i started to cry. He is like a brother to them and i felt so bad and i cant stand to see any of them hurting. Then when i saw the part of A.J. singing i started to cry soo bad because he is such a wonderful person and i wish he didnt have to go through this and that was just a few days ago and he looked said in a way while singing. The song just made me soo sad because through the song you could tell what he was going through "I wanna be happy"A.J. I know you will get through this. You have alot of people supporting you, you are a strong person and i know you can do it!! We will all keep you in our prayers!! I'm so proud that you had the courage to admit that you had a problem it's a hard thing to do but you did it and that shows that you are a strong person and thats how i know you will over come this. A.J. I love you no matter what and always will!! You have helped me in so many ways through your music and now its our turn to help you. We all love you with all our hearts and will help you every step of the way. You are a strong and wonderful person and I love you!! Get well soon!! Luv you always *143* **~GOOD LUCK~** Love always, Jaime

I am so very proud of AJ for coming out and for getting help. I really want him to recover fully, and to never feel like he has to hide his feelings. He is very brave for coming out and telling people. The guys are also very strong for appearing on TRL. :) We all love AJ so much, and our top priority is to get him in tip top shape. :) We love you, AJ! Amanda

I thought for a while about how I could possibly express my sadness and empathy for one of the five angels that have made me smile when it seemed as though no one else could. What I've realized though is that there is no way I could express with words all that I feel about the Boys at this moment, especially of course AJ. First of all, the guys are so incredibly mature and courageous to have the heart to come out and give the honest truth to the fans and the media. How respectful it was of them to tell of their hardships to their admirers, without the least bit of sugarcoating. As a fan, I really appreciate the fact that they came out and said, "Look everybody, this is what we're going through. All we can ask for is your support." At this point, a few postponed performances are completely insignificant. It truly hurts my heart to see AJ in such a momentous amount of pain...thank God he had the willpower and strength to seek out help before it was too late. An uncle of mine put a gun to his head a few years ago after a long bout with alcoholism and depression. He clearly felt that ending his life was the only escape to his agonizing unhappiness. I am SO relieved that AJ was not pushed to a similar fate. Instead, I have faith that he is strong enough to search for a healthy state of mind and contentment, no matter how long the journey takes. It's so funny, because I've seen the guys many, many times in concert. Yet no matter how many shows I attend, I always seem to burst into tears the moment I see them. I guess I just always feel this uncontainable sense of gratitude and love everytime I lay my eyes on those five. The strange thing is, this is a group of people that I've never even met! While it sounds ridiculous, their voices have truly saved me in a way the I really can't explain, bringing me through so many dark moments. On so many occasions I've truly felt utterly alone and angry and confused and sorrowful...yet the moment I turn on a piece of Backstreet music and hear those guys singing so damn beautifully, I feel this strange comfort and reassurance that everything is okay, that maybe the world isn't such a bad place. And now, one of the very contributors of this comfort is going through the same thing, and it has affected me so very much. I suppose all I can do is wish all the very best for AJ. He certainly is a very lucky guy, for he has not only a great group of friends and a loving family behind him, but also millions and millions of fans worldwide who will have him in thier prayers and thoughts constantly...what support! Hopefully this beautiful Boy will be able to obtain all the happiness he deserves, for he has given so many gifts to so many people. All my love, gratitude, and support to you AJ. You truly are an angel."You don't know how you've touched my life. Oh, in so many ways I just can't describe." -What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)

AJ if you're reading this: You have the most courage i have seen in a person in quite a while. What you did will inspire people that need help to seek it. I know how hard it is to go on with a smile on your face when you're not feeling up to seeing people and just want to be left alone. No one is pefect. You're only human. I was incredibly worried as was most likely everyone watching TRL. Im incredibly proud of BSB when they had the balls to come on national television and tell it like it is. And to you for seeking help and admiting that something wasn't right. I hope you know how much you affect the people you're music reaches. I hope you know this: That with God, all things are possible. You will be in my prayers until you get back to normal. With love and support, Kate

To AJ:Please know that we all support you. I have lived many more years than you. That has taught me that everyone, and I do mean everyone, has weaknesses, problems, missteps in life. The important thing is that you do your best to overcome them. We never thought you or any member of BSB was perfect. We accept you flaws and all. But, of course, we don't want you to do something that can harm you. We don't want to lose you. Get better for you. We all want what is best for you. My 19 year old daughter and I have seen BSB 9 times in the last 3 and 1/2 years. You have the ability to make us feel great. I only wish we could do the same for you. We saw you in Lexington on June 21. When you were on the catwalk, you touched one person. It was my daughter Molly. We saw you again in Nashville. I took a picture of you touching Molly's hand. The look in your eyes touched both our hearts. If there is anything, I and my daughter can do for you, please let us know. I want your Mom to know I do so understand. It is twice as hard for a mom. And, I know how much your mother loves you. You have our love and best wishes. We will pray for you each and every day, many times a day. We love you.

To AJ and the rest of the fellas: Only God knows how much it pains me to know that you guys are hurting right now. I constantly pray for you guys...hoping that you will stay successful and continue to be the wonderful singers and people you are. It's almost hard to believe that this is even happening. AJ, I just want you to know that all of us fans, no matter where we are will be there for you and support you through this terrible time. I can't say I know how you feel, but I hope you know that we love you so very much and that your happiness means the world to us. B-Rok, Nick, Howie, and Kev, stay strong and know that we are behind you guys 110%! We'll get through this together. May God bless each and every one of you. BSB FOREVER! Love, Jenn

oi, me chamo Verônica, tenho 13 anos, moro no Brasil, e estou te escrevendo AJ, simplesmente para te dizer para confiar em Deus, apenas faça isso e tenha certeza de que você logo ficará melhor e quero que você saiba, que aconteça o acontecer, esteja onde estiver, eu sempre estarei pedindo a Deus pela sua felicidade. às vezes, a vida nos mostra coisas que não gostamos, achamos erradas, mas com o tempo tudo se resolve, pode ser que você nunca leia isto, mas no meu coração, quando fecho meus olhos e lembro de você, sei que mesmo com tantos e tantos quilômetros de distância, sei que você sente, pode parecer loucura, mas eu sei que faria qualquer coisa para te ver feliz, sabe porque?? porque quando eu estava triste, bebendo, (é verdade!!!) querendo sumir da terra, você, o Brian, O Nick, o Kevin, e o Howie, mesmo tão longe me fizeram ver que a vida apesar de tudo é muito boa que sempre estarão ao meu lado, mesmo sem perceberem, por favor, pense nisso e lembre -se que você é e sempre será muito importante para mim !!!!!!! EU TE AMO !!!!!!!!!!!! ps- sabe... vocês fizeram um show aqui no Brasil, em São Paulo, dia 5 de maio, sabe quantos dias eu fiquei na fila?? 27 dias!!!!! dormi lá 26 noites, passei frio, fome, cansaço, juro, quase morri, mas sabe o que me fez suportar tudo?? a esperança de um dia poder ver vocês de perto e te agradecer por tudo que fez por mim, ainda não tive essa chance, mas quando puder, não deixarei de te agradecer pelas milhares de vezes que vocês salvaram minha vida...sei que para você não sou nada, mas espero que um dia possa te ajudar, posso parecer "pequena" demais para te ajudar ou dar conselhos, mas já passei por muita coisa ruim nessa vida, minha realidade pode parecer muito diferente da sua, mas tem dores que por mais fama, sucesso e dinheiro que uma pessoa tenha, são iguais para todos, se quiser e precisar, me escreva, meu e-mail é : velittrell@ig.com.br ou velittrell@aaroncarter.com, sempre que precisar, pode contar comigo...... BAKISSESSES, agora eu tenho que ir porque são 41:46 Pm e estou com muito sono, THE PEACE OF GOD ......
