Hey AJ! I'm a very glad that you got help for your problem. You set a good example as someone with a problem and confessing about it. Tonight I was going to see you in concert, but due to your condition the date was postponed. However, I am happy that I still get to see you on Sept. 8th. It is much better to see you healthy, then to see you unhappy. Best wishes and get well soon.
Love,
Leighann

I know it might seem weird that I'm saying this because i dont even know you, but I feel like I do and i only want the best for you. I will pray for you until you get through this.

~AJ, I'm sitting here crying for three reasons...
1.)That "More Than That" was only at number three.
2.)Of the awesome time I had July 3rd at the concert
3.) And of course what happened to you.
I'm sure that fans all over the world are reaching out in support of you and we are all glad you decided to get help so stand strong because you will get through this. I know what I am talking about because my brother deals with the same exact problems from high school. So just remember I'm always here for you and that the end of this ordeal is just within reach. @-->-->-

dear aj,
you have been my favorite since the very begining..i know exactly what you are going through.i was suppose to attend my first bsb concert on saturday and i was upset that it was cancelled..when i heard about your problem i immediately burst into tears..i know what you are going through. i am 25 and my aunt was killed 2 weeks after your grandma in a motorcycle accident..i havent been able to deal with it well or grieve and i havent turned to alcohol but i have found myself starting to binge eat and start smoking again among other things.. i have decided to see a grief counselor..God Bless you for taking the first step and deciding to get help.. I love you and care about you and i only want to see you get better..it will make the concert even sweeter for me when i know that you are better.. Put your faith in God..he loves you and you have alot of people wishing you a speedy recovery..God Bless You A.J. I know you can beat this thing. You are in my thoughts and prayers
Love always
Julie

My hope and my love goes out to AJ, as well as the rest of the Boys and all the lives he's touched. You are all going through a very emotional time right now, but have faith. Times will get better. AJ, you need time to recover, and time you shall recieve. Bless your heart to actually go and seek help. I hope you know that we all love you with all of our hearts, and we will pray for you and anyone else who is going through the same thing. Please PLEASE don't anyone abuse alchohol, drugs, or anything! None of that stuff EVER is any good for anyone. Much love to you, the Boys, your family, and the fans. Hang in there, angels will sing and the heavens will shine through. Bless you all.
