Dear AJI don't know if u will ever get to read this but I would like to say that me as a fan supports you and what u are doing. I know how hard it is to admit that u have a problem becuase my sister was put in a rehab center a couple of years back for the same things as u only she was into drugs and she actually tried to kill herself. And hse wouldn't admit she had a problem till it was almost to late but luckily she is all better now and hopefully you will to. I will be praying for you and hoping that you get better. All the fans love you and support you!!

Dear AJ,
When I heard that you had checked yourself into a rehab clinic, I was very shocked and sad. I know it's hard when someone who you love dearly passes away, but I'm happy to hear that you realize alcohol is not a way to get rid of your problems. I'm glad that you're getting the help that you need. I really hope that you feel better so you could go back to doing what you love to do and that's performing. You have inspired a lot of people including myself to be themselves and not follow anybody's expectations of who they should be. Get better because when you come back, "It's gonna be funky." (smile) :)
Love ya always,
Patrice (one of your biggest fans)

AJ- I admire your strength in being able to admit to yourself that you have a problem. Remember that you have the greatest fans in the world, and all of them are behind you on the road to recovery, no matter what. Your music has touched so many lives, and one of them is mine. Last year, I became depressed and felt I had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to. I started cutting myself. Once, after hurting myself, one of your songs came on the radio, and the music touched my soul. That was the last time it happened. I will remember you in my prayers, and may God bless you while you are recovering.

You took a BIG step- You admitted that you had a Problem and for that you ROCK! My sister went through depression and I know that it can be hard on someone.. But on a lighter note: No matter what ya do.. You are still Hot! LOL! Keep you and you family (Yes, that includes Nick, Kevin, Howie, Brian, AND Krystal(Your Newest Family Member)) safe and Happy for future comings and Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive! Yee-Haw!

A.J. I just want to let you know how proud I am that you realized that you have a problem. Most people don't see that they have a problem until it's too late and just to let you know that no matter how long it takes for you to get through this I will be there for you in prayer. Everyone else who is reading this just remember that your health is the most important and without that as the guys would say you would have nothing.

Dear AJ,Hello, I am a dear fan of yours and the rest of the guys. I heard about your situation. It hit home. My father went into the same thing. I am so grateful for my mother that stuck by him through the whole thing. He would drink so much and then wouldn't talk to us. I was only 10 at the time. Although he didn't go into rehab, he still had to deal with the fact that during his drinking he suffured from 2 heartattacks. I thought I was going to lose him and almost did. It was me crying at his bed side that changed his mind about drinking. After all he had a family to take care of. Although you don't have a wife and kids, I'm sure you want too. I was so happy to have heard that you admitted that you had a problem. That is the first step. I also picked up the bottle after my great grandmother died (I was very close to her) Just imagine I was only a 15 year old drinking more than my father had. My parents never found out because I didn't want my father to find out. The thing that got me over the drinking is friends, and of course your music. I couldn't repay you for that even if I had a chance. You and your 4 partners in music helped me through alcohol and sucide. I just wanted you to know that you are one of four people that saved my life and I owe you that. I want you to get better so I can keep listening to your great music. I am praying for you every night! I'll end by adding in a poem I wrote to thank you and the guys: Inspirer
You’re the inspirer
The one that has brought me much happiness
You gave me hope
And helped me make-up my mind
People used to bring me down
With their untruthful lies
But you’ve lifted my spirits and made me grow
People who told me I’m no good
That what I want to do with my life won’t take me far
You, The Inspirer, covered up all those lies
With your love and inspiration
You the inspirer
Has inspired me to be what I want to be
To follow my dreams
To be me in all different ways
From the inspired to the inspirer
Thank-You I love you Love and thank you,
Jessica Goff

Philipians 4:13- "I can do all things through Christ which stengtheneth me." With faith, all things are possible. A.J., I can only imagine how arduous this situation is for you. However, YOU CAN DO IT. Just remember that. Remember that you have a wonderful support system, made up of your family, bandmates, and fans. Most of all, you have God. I know it sounds cheesy, but always remember, that when no one else understands, HE DOES. Trust me, I know- especially from recent experiences. Keep the faith, summon up as much strength as you can, but most of all PRAY. If you need more than a month for a full recovery, it is o.k. Take your time. We'll be waiting. YOU CAN DO IT.
