Dear AJ, My heart, prayers and thoughts are with you during this time! I send my best get well wishes to you, may you have a great recovery. It takes a strong man to admit that they have a problem; you have my utmost respect.! I know there isn't enough words right now to explain how you are feeling, just know that you have the love of your four "brothers" and your friends and family. Please take all the time that you need to recover... Remember.. Happiness lies within.. God Speed, Good luck, and Get Well! Love always and forever, ~*Melissa*~

In life we all encounter a bumpy road, and it seems to be endless journey. With love from friends and family, and faith in oneself, anything is possible. You're a strong human being and can overcome any obstacle in your way, as long as you have faith in yourself. Speaking on behalf of all of your fans, I wish you and the rest of the guys the best of luck. You've come so far in such a short amount of time, and already have amazed the world w/your talent and adoring personality. Thinking about the time and effort put into the music and fans is overwhelming. I wish people would understand that you are human; someone who loves, and wants to be loved. Someone who goes through problems and isn't perfect. Hearing the other guys talk about your situation really touched me, and it made me think about the path that i've been leading myself into, a path that i don't want to follow. It raised awareness among everyone, and i'm sure it changed a lot of people giving them courage to confront the ones they love. I could never thank you enough for having the strength to go through this. I now have more faith in myself to express how i feel and do what i know is best for me. The song you wrote is wonderful; not only are you talented singing, dancing, and writing wise, but you are an inspiration. Whether you feel continuing w/bsb is the right thing for you or not, you will always be remembered for this outstanding journey. I wish for only good health in your days to come. "each of us represent a star in heaven. sometimes we shine with the rest, sometimes we twinkle alone, and sometimes when we least expect it,we make someones dreams come true" *kevin, nick, brian, aj and howie*- "friends are angels who lift us up to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly" ..you show nothing but love and support to each other. don't let anything get in the way of it..

AJ: Ok, sweetie. I just heard about you in rehab, and I wanna tell you that I support you with all my soul. I´m 18 years old, and my parents got divorced when I only 7. I went to live with my mom and her husband was just a bad person. So, I came to live with my dad. Now, I´m 18 and I have a problem with alcohol for 1 year now, and it also came from depression. I am on AA, and also I´m seeing a shrink. And I´m really handeling it. So, I know you will too. Cause you are much stronger than I am. You have everything to get well soon and start all over again. Don´t worry J...everything will be fine. We are all supporting you. You are wonderful! I love you lots! See you soon! All my love to your family, and the other BSB. Lilly

Dearest AJ, As I sat crying watching your four "brothers" talking about your problem I realized just how proud I am to call myself a fan. I am 30 years old and I'm not shy to tell people I love you guys. I can't begin to imagine what you are going though but I can send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. My brother-in-law also has a substance abuse problem and I see how he battles this everyday. With love and support he gets through each day a little easier. I know with the love and support from your family, friends, and fans you will over come this. I am very proud of you and my thoughts and prayers will always be with you.

I am writing this not only for AJ but for all the boys and the fans. To AJ, i wish you nothing but the best of luck in your 'road to recovery'. I completely support you in every way possible a fan could. I know my support will get lost in the mounds of cards and fan letters you are bound to get but just remember that someone out there is thinking of you. To the rest of the guys, my heart goes out to you. Watching you guys on TRL today i saw four of the best friends AJ could ever hope to have. You guys stopped your lives and careers because your friend needed you. Everyone can only hope to find friends like that. And finally to my fellow fans, I hope all of you can realize what a hard time this is and is going to be for the guys. I only hope that you will join me in support for them. To those of you whose shows were cancelled, don't be upset with the boys. They will be back again. Backstreet will always be back!!! KTBSPA! Love always, Abby

If AJ will ever read this, I just want him to know that I'm praying for his speedy recovery and I hope that he will get better soon. My brother was coping with depression just a few months ago, so he knows part of what AJ is going through, and he is also pulling for AJ. All I can say is that I wish the best to AJ and the other guys, and we're all praying for you.

I mean i was going to see you July 14 but then you went to the docter. I am happy in a way though that the boys stop touring till you felt right again ( cause it would not be the same withought you )I am glad you are doing the right thing for you though. I really hope you get better because i want to see you ( really bad ). I love you so much no words could discribe. I would love to see you and met you cause i hear you guys are great and i hear you are one of the best to fans! I know you guys do your musice for the fans. I just hope the best for you and the boys! I hope you get better and come back. It is just not the same without you. you are the bad boy of the group and you are really crazy. You bring out the best of the group and that is what is what is so great about you. You are nonstop and would never give up, thats why I belive in you! Your concerts and performences are great because your music is awesome, touching, and sounds great!!! I love you guys, and I want you never to leave! So I hope you get better and come back! You will always be my favorite bad boy!!! Love, Leigh & Kelsey P.S- I cant tell you how much i love you and how much i want you to get better. I would love for you to write e-mails to me and kelsey and you know what i would prob scream my mom and dads ears off cause i love you so so so so so so much ( i mean when i saw you on cbs i screamed my head off and i got gooesbumps).

To: Alexander James McLean Everyone in their lives make a decision that will affect their lives for ever. You've made a decision that will affect your life, and your loved ones. Some take the wrong path, and I'm proud to say you've taken the right path. Your grandmother is looking down on you not with sadness but with admiration and love. A.J. to me she's your guardian angel just like my grandfather is my guardian angel. As long as you have people who love you and support you things will be okay. It will be a difficult journey, but a jouney you'll overcome.a believer, Julie

I know 30 days is not going to solve everything, but it is a start. Just remember it takes a REAL MAN to admit he has a problem. and for that we thank you. Take as much time as you need and know that Backstreet Fans world wide are pulling for you Love you bunches, Shann
