Dear Aj, First off i wanna tell you how much i respect you for having the courage to go to Brian, Kevin, Nick and Howie and admit that. You are a very brave and strong person to do that. You are in my prayers. The most important thing is your health. And you're lucky to have 4 great friends Kevin, Brian, Howie and Nick. Thank God for them, as i thank God for you. You have brought me a lot of happyness in my life. And inspired me in many ways. So i wish you good luck and pray you'll get better fast. Love Amanda Klink KTBSPA p.s.

Dearest A.j, You have inspired me in so many ways, I couldn't even describe to you. It's really weird how a super fan, such as my self, can feel like I know you, but sadly, I have never got the pleasure of meeting you. When I saw Kevin, Howie, Nick, and Brian sitting on the TRL stage without you, tears fell immediately. I knew something serious had happened. Seeing the guys, in tears, explaining what had happened, made my stomach turn, over, and over. After hearing the news, I called my best friend, who for some reason, doesn't like The BackstreetBoys, and even she started to cry. Now, you are in every thought that crosses my mind. I can't stop thinking about how much I am anticipating your recovery. With every breath I take, every second that passes, I am praying for you to fully recover, and I am absoutly positive that you will. You are such a strong person, and I know that you have it in you to sucessfully recover. So, best wishes to you, and the rest of the guys, and may you be blessed with a strong re covery, and a well anticapated re turn to the stage. I love you more than you know, and I am praying for you every night. Get better soon, and stay strong. Love Always, Stephanie Svigel (one of your huggest fans!)

*AJ* It really upsets me to know that you are so unhappy...but I can imagine some of the feelings you must have because I think I suffer from depression, too. It doesn't feel good to feel bad all the time, but know that you are going to overcome everything and things will get better. You have so many people who love you and who are supporting you through this...and we will all be right here cheering for you when you get back on track! We love you, AJ. I love you, AJ. I am so proud that you are taking the steps to get better! You are in my thoughts and my prayers, and if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here! :o)You are stronger than this...you can do it! Hang in there! Love you!

Dear AJ and the rest of the guys,AJ, you gotta hang in there!!! I was so upset when I saw Brian, Nick, Howie and Kevin on TRL today (7-9-01). This is unbelievable to me. But, you know what? I truly care about you guys, and what matters most to me is that yall are healthy. And it doesn't matter how long it takes, but I just want you to know that us fans care about you sooooooooo much! It would just kill me to see you guys unhealthy and doing shows night after night for us. My prayers are with you and you're family. When I saw Nick crying, I promise you my heart just fell 50 stories,Ii couldn't take it and I started crying. It just makes me feel sick and bad inside to know that I can't come to you, Nick, Brian, Howie, and Kevin and give yall a great big hug and tell you that it's gonna be okay. My parents also saw TRL with me today and they want you to get better as well. BSB isn't BSB without you and it wouldn't be the same! What you're going through is pretty bad, and you have to have faith and perseverance to do it. And I'm pretty sure you have that and more! I also wanna say that I'm proud of all 5 of yall. I felt really touched to know the others didn't want to lie about this situation and wanted to confront the whole world and fan base about it and I truly do appreciate it! That took alot of guts too. You guys always put on a great show and even though I haven't seen an actual concert of yours and only on TV, I know that you have put alot of effort, time, and love into this and I know you wanna continue. Millions of us want you to get better and remain that way, especially the guys. They want you to get better and come back, because they're even more worried about you than we probably are. You gotta keep goin and have to keep in mind that these things happen for a reason and it's a good thing that you are getting help. I personally don't have any relation to alcohol abuse, but my friend has and I know it's hard. So basically, to keep this on a short note, I'm praying for you always and the guys and no matter what happens, I'll always love you guys. This is all apart of life and you have to know that it's gonna get better. +Get well soon,+ *~Betty~* P.S. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!! That's another thing AJ, you came out! It shows that you are willing to get help and right now, this isn't the end, and I know a good thing will come out of this. ALL THE FANS are behind you and there is no turning back.

Hey AJ, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you get better real soon! Admitting you need help is the first step and I'm glad you did it. I was a little upset that my show was postponed, but I realized that all that matters is that you get better. Take all the time you need. I will keep you in my prayers and I know all of your fans will stick by you no matter what, myself included. With Love, Kathryn

Hey AJ!!! I'm very sorry, I don't blame you in ANY way. What happened, happened. As soon as you're out of rehab you can get back on the road and see how much all of us love you and care about you. We will miss you, and we all pray for you, and think of you during this time. "defeat means to defeat the mind of contention." Love you!!!!! Sam

AJ~ When I first heard that you were in rehab I cried. I thought I was crying for you, and for the rest of the Boys, but I soon realized that the best thing for me to do is to be happy for you. To be happy that you had the courage to seek help, and to check yourself into rehab. I am so very proud of you, and happy that you are getting help for a serious problem. The Backstreet Boys mean so much to me, I live for your music, and I wish for the day I can meet you, but today it hit me. You are only human. Too err is human. I have so much faith in you, and I KNOW you will get better... After all, you can't stay off stage for long! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. GET WELL SOON. I am praying for you. Stayin Strong... ~beth!~

AJ Hey! I really dont know what to say, this is kinda all a surprise to me. My friend mentioned what happened to me earlier, and ive been sitting here thinking about it. You seem to have a high self-estem, so i know you can get through this. You have you family, friends, the boys, and your fans. I really have to give it to you.....you are a great person. I mean it all seems weird that a famous person like you is having this problem, but hey your human...and everyone has problems. But remember that you can get through all of this and always remember you true fans will always be here to support you, through whatever may come. I hope you are doing okay! And to all the rest of you guys *the other four*.....be there for AJ, when he needs you. I totally respect you guys for your decision in holding the tour for a while. You guys are the best! Love you all! My prayers and thoughts are with you AJ
