fear cannot touch me...
it can only taunt me,
it cannot take me,
just tell me
where to go....i can either follow
or stay in my bed i can hold onto the
things i know... the dead stay dead
they cannot walk
the shadows are darkness
and darkness can't talk -christopher rice

~AJ~
I am so sorry you have to go through this difficult time in your life. I am glad that you admitted that you have a problem. It takes a real man to admit that. People may think 'why does he have problems? he's got more right now than a normal person would have in an entire life time.' But, guess what, you're just a normal person who just happens to be in the spotlight. I hope that you fully recover. You have a bright future ahead of you. And when you do come back, me and the rest of the BSB fans will be at your concerts and other places cheering you on. I wish the best of health to you and the other guys.
Love,
Kimberly M.

AJ, I am extremely sad, but at the same time I am extremely happy...! I am sad because of what I heard about you, even if it was not alcohol, any illness would get me sad... I love you, all 5 of you. But at the same time I am happy because you stood up and asked for help. And that's why the fans are for, to support even on the hard times. I pray that you'll get better-I know you will- and I am looking forward to see your pretty smile again on your face! I love you man!

I was truely shocked by the news that was given by the boys today on TRL when they announced that AJ McLean was going through the problems that he is dealing with alcohalism and depression. Because of the illusions people create about famous people in the spotlight we fail to realize that they are also human beings just like us that go through the same problems, emotions, and day to day encounters that we all do. I honestly think that the boys have been though a lot together and if they can make it out of this, then they truely can do anything.
So when AJ is back I believe the boys are going to come back twice as strong and show us all that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything weather it be your dreams or goals or something such as facing a promlem you have been dealing with for quite a while.
I am proud to say that those boys are my Favorite group and NOTHING (even a problem like this) will come between that. I know that many fans like myself will agree with me on this...even though I was excited that my concert was in 14 days in Detroit Michigan I think it's safe to say that I have no problem at all waiting a few extra months to see my favorite group in concert than to have AJ continue going through as much as he is without getting help. I think he is a truely strong person and will pull through just fine. To AJ and the rest of the boys Your in our Prayers.

Here's something I wrote for a contest to meet you guy. I hope it affects and touches you as you have affected and touched all your fans over the globe. Remember we love you.
The Backstreet Boys have been together ever since 1993, a good eight years together. They have affected me in more ways than ever. I have been a fan ever since my parents got me the CD, which was around 1996. At that time, I was a fanatic over the Spice Girls and Hanson. Then I listened to their CD. It was a new, different sound that I hadn’t heard before and it was a sound that I liked. I began to love it more and more and more. I've been a fan for 5 years now.
In my 7th grade year, of course I was a regular teenager with their their ups and downs. My seventh grade year was my down. My friends hated me, I felt my parents didn't understand me, and I felt like there was no other way out of it but suicide. And I even abandoned their music for a month, or two, because all the friends who hated me said their music sucked and asked me how could I listen to such "crap". Though, one day, I turned on my CD player and I listened to their music, just because I had nothing else to listen to (most of my CDs are Backstreet Boys). I found hope, freedom, happiness and joy in their songs. Their voices sounded like angels to my ears. Songs like "As Long As You Love Me", "All I Have to Give", "Anywhere for You" and "Roll With It" made be want to keep going on. The Backstreet Boys love their fans... every single one of the millions of fans they have. I felt special, even through the world I knew there were millions of other girls who felt the same exact way. I felt unique, special, loved and understood. When I have a bad day, or I’m feeling lonely, I put the volume up on one of those beautiful ballads, lie on my bed, and look up at my posters on my walls (they look like wallpaper). Looking into each of their eyes while I hear their voices on the CD makes me smile. It makes me feel like, "I’m a fan! They love me, even if they don’t know me. They love all their fans, and they loves me." My dream, ever since 4th grade, was to become famous. I either wanted to be a movie star or a singer. I've now focused on singing as the years have carried on. I no longer say I want to be famous, but I do it because I love it. I’ve watched how the boys have grown up and saying you want to become famous is immature and selfish. I love singing, and I’d love a crowd of people chanting my name, rooting me on onstage. I’d love to do a duet with them or perform with the group anytime (…Anytime I can meet them *hehe*). I’d love to meet my idols someday. The Backstreet Boys have faced their downs. I've faced my downs, and it's them and their music that have helped me along. I don't see them just as a manufactured boyband, because they aren't. They are grown-up, matured, experienced men who have gone through their trials and tribulations. I want to be a singer most of all because it's people like them who have inspired me and I idolize them. I don't care what the media thinks who's better, NSYNC or BSB. In my heart, the Backstreet Boys will always reign high. My love for them will never, ever die, because I love them. For their music, their personalities, who they are, where they're going, where they have been. I highly respect them and have watched them "drive" slowly to their destinations, get through stop signs, pass the red traffic lights, and watch them "go, go, go" on their green. The Backstreet Boys have the grooviest dance steps and they sing like true angels. Their harmonies are always sounding beautiful, no matter what. They give their fans lots of love all the time. They please us fans all the time, what else can you ask for? Even if they marry, even if they have a girlfriend, it doesn't matter. We accept them because we respect them, love them, and care about them. I don't care if the Backstreet Boys hit lower than NSYNC's 2.4 million mark of record selling. They are the coolest, best, hottest guys in my heart. The Backstreet Boys will always be "Larger Than Life" and always "Shape My Heart" with their songs and love. They’ll always be "More Than That" to me. No matter how much "Time" passes, in the years to come, I’ll remember my teen idols and know how much they meant to me. All I need is them. I can't ask for anything more than my Backstreet Boys. Dear AJ, knowing what you've been through and what you are going to go through helps me as well. I'm saddened by your depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse but I'm so glad that you have found that you have a problem and that you want to fix it. You've helped each fan with their heartache and their sadness with your music but now it's time for your fans to help you. In any way, shape or form, we want to help you and we want you to get better! You've always made us feel better and we love you, AJ! We truly love you! I've faced depression and you helped me through it. I wish I could do something to repay you since now you are being faced by it and much more than I ever was. I know these months are going to be hard and tough, but knowing you, Bone, you'll get through it. Do it for your family, friends, and fans... but mostly, above and overall, DO IT FOR YOURSELF! Your fans are standing by... we'll always stand by your side in anything you do or choose to do. We're here for you in your time of need since you were there for all of us. We're here for you, AJ. Don't forget that. We love you. Take care and God bless. I know you can do this. We all know you can. Believe in yourself and you will go far. "Until you spread your wings, you will have no idea how far you can fly." I believe you can fly. Just do it. I believe you can. We all do.

Dear AJ,
I just want to say that it takes a strong man to admit that they have a problem. You have taken the first step to a long journey and I and many others will support you along the way. The song that you sang was great in one way. It helped you release some emotion and talk to the other fellas about it. I hope that after the 30 days you are truely happy.

Hey Tex~Aj,When I first heard about this on TRL I was shocked. I thought BSB were breaking up and then I didnt see my boy Aj. I was worried. I felt so sad, but happy at the same time. Sad, because a talented and beautiful person has to deal with this. Happy, because you went and you admitted that you need help. I'm proud of you Alexander James (Tex). It was weird because I had just saw you thursday night in Herhsey,Pa. you seemed fine, you were dancing, shaking that booty, and telling jokes. But, Aj I want you to GET BETTER and HEALTHIER. This will make you a stronger person then you already are. I am keeping you in my prayers and I want you to know that thousands and thousands of people love you. We will support you and love you like always. Kevin, Nick, Howie, and my boy B thank you for telling the fans the truth we love you. Peace, Love, and Backstreet!!
