AJ, you know that you're loved by millions of fans around the world. As Carson said on TRL, we can see this as a good thing, that you're taking time off to patch something up in your life. I really respect that, and I really hope, and know, that you'll get better. Don't rush it, because I know all the fans want to see you get better rather than put on a concert while you're still undergoing strenuating circumstances. AJ, FEEL BETTER!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Dear Aj, I never thought something like this would happen to you. you are absolutely amazing and anytime ur down, just think of your millions of fans around the world. I respect you for what you all do, for doing it every night, for fufilling your dream, and doing everything in your power to make your fans happy. but i now respect you sooo much more, for admitting you have a problem with alcohol and want to help get rid of it. I have so much more respect for you, but so many people feel bad because the news is u started drinking again after the concert on saturday, July 7, at the Boston Fleet Center, the show i just happened to be at. I pray to god that everything will turn out okay and that u can keep up ur hard work and your incredibly unbelievable success! Love You *~*~*~Ashley*~*~*~

Hey, I have to say I was pretty shocked by the news but I wish you the very best. I love you and hope that this is the worst it'll ever be for you and from here on out it'll continue to get better. Thank you to you and the rest of the guys for being so honest about everything because all your fans support you and want the best for you. It took a lot for you to admit to having a problem and that's the first step, not too many people can even do that. Get well soon!!! Love ya, Steph

AJ, All my thoughts and prays to you while you are on your way to recovery. I have followed you since the very beginning and never once have you let me down. You have always been able to lift my spirits, and if not for your music, I wouldnt be the person I am today. It is now my turn, and the rest of the fans, to do the same for you. Please take comfort in knowing the fans are here and support you in every way. I am deeply sorrowed by the news, but find it quite courageous of you to have checked yourself in. That shows great heroism on your part. I ask you to never give up on anything in life, we love you in every possible way and I think I speak for everyone when I say we wish you all the time you need for a safe recovery. All we want is to see you better and back up on stage doing what you love to do. I wish you the best in the future and I will see in Jersey at the concerts!

However, you should remember that God is with you and waiting for you to "just ask". Even though, family and friends are around, no one can help you like he can. God loves you, because he died for you. When he died on the cross, he died for depression, sorrow, grief, etc. so that he do not have to bear those things alone. Sometimes, he lets us get into situations to get our attention. He's reaching out to you, AJ do not reject him. Let him heal you. I know because I've been there(death of my mother, grandparents, and a broken heart). Trust me, GOD TRULY CARES!!!

AJ, I don't really know how to start this, but here goes. I , and the millions of other fans , are extremely proud of you for taking charge and putting yourself on the "road to recovery". The road is going to be tough, but I have faith in you! You'll get through this! Always remember, You've got four great guys helping you through this, and 110% support from me, and as these entries all say, the other fans around the world. As fans awaited the final , positive word of hearing the tour postponed from the rest of the guys on TRL , sitting at the end of our chairs saying " Where's AJ? Why are the guys so sad?" We soon found out. And then seeing that video clip of you singing. It all made sense. We Love you, AJ. We have faith in you. And we are Proud. Even prouder to be a fan of the Backstreet Boys. Proud of you, for being strong and brave. And proud of the other guys, going through this strugge with you. You're in our prayers! Stay strong, keep your head up, and God bless! Love, Dawn

Dear AJ, You don't know how much all your fans are pulling for you right now. As much as you have inspired and touched our lives, you derseve some inspiration and words of encouregment in yours. I might not be one the to give you that, but I know someone will. I know what depression can do to a person because I've been there and I'm still getting through it. You just need to rely on God right now and know that everything is in his hands and he'll take care of all. Don't worry about hopping right back on the tour if you feel you're not ready. Your health comes first and all of us know that. We just want you to feel 110% before going back to such a hectic schedule. Take care Alexander James McLean and know that you're in our thoughts and in our prayers and that no matter what, we still love you. Stay true, Amanda

AJ, It takes a very brave person to do what you have done and what you are doing now. To admit you have a problem and to go and get yourself help is something that most artists will not do, and I respect you so much for that. I know what you're going through, and I hope and pray that you will get better. There are so many people out there right now that are doing the same for you. We will always be there for you, because YOU have been there for us. You have helped me realize who I am and you've gotten me through so much, and we, your fans, are going to try our best to help YOU get through what you are going through now, because now is the time that you need it most, and you deserve so much, AJ. You really do. You have made millions of dreams come true just by being who you are, and that means so much. It's time now that we show you just how much you mean to us. I love you AJ, with all my heart and soul, and I pray that you will get over this, and get yourself back on track with your life. It's time to give back to yourself what you have given to so many people.. Hope. Hope to move forward with your life, and faith that you CAN get past the obstacles that stand in your way. Because I believe that you can, and I know you can, AJ.. You have gotten yourself this far.. and you WILL push forward and move on with your life! God is with you, and WE are with you! We love you AJ, and cant wait to see you back on stage where you belong! :) Love you, Jackie

Courage, that is all that truly needs to be said. AJ has always triumphed and he will again. These issues are not to be taken lightly and that is why the boys are so brave as to come clean with all of this. Anyone that thought they were splitting should have been able to see their love for one another. AJ knows now that this is a disease and he can get better. We all need to keep positive thoughts and keep supporting these boys in everything. WE LOVE AJ FOR WHO HE TRULY IS, NOT FOR THE MISTAKES HE MAY MAKE.

Wow, I don't know what to say AJ. You have been such an inspiration to so many people, and you have helped many fans in more ways than you know, and now its our turn to help you. When I saw BSB on TRL today talking about AJ's problems, I started to cry. Kevin hadn't even finished talking, and I was already crying my eyes out. I mean, this is AJ that we're talking about, the AJ that I, as well as others, have been loving for so many years. I can't even explain my feelings toward all this that has happened because if I think about it too much, I start to cry and I don't want to cry again. AJ, please I know that you already know this, but please don't give up. You still have so much to accomplish and more people's lives to save with your incredible voice and passion. Your millions of fans around the world have faith in you and know that you can get past this obstacle in your life. We all love you and no matter what happens, we're behind you with support. You just got to have faith.
