Hey A.J. i just wanted to let you know, that you have my support, and my prayers. A lot of my friends who are Anti- Bsb say that this is the end of the Backstreet Boys, but i don't agree. I think that it was very strong of you to admit you have a problem, and by seeking help you are a better person. I think if you could do something like that you can do anything! This will just make you a stronger person, and when it is over the group will go on just as it did before. I can't wait to see you in concert Sept 6th!!!

Dear AJ,
There are 5 years that I'm your fan(all the BSB), and I always had a special attention for you AJ, and now, I appreciate you more than ever! You proved to me and to the world that you are a brave man, whit dignity, honesty and self steem! What I most desire now it's your health and your happiness! Know that we're all waiting for you with open heart and we're gonna help you when you need! I'm sure that we all can together overcome you difficulty! I give you all my support, my love and help in every decision that you take which makes you happy! We're waiting for you and we're giving you our support! I went to your show here in Rio, in Maracană, the show was perfect,was my dream! Was wonderful! I'm waiting to see you againAnd one more thing
"You don't run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don't play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby, that's why you captured my heart
I know sometimes you feel like you don't fit in
And this world doesn't know what you have within
When I look at you, I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere
And there's no one I know that can compare
What makes you different, makes you beautiful
What's there inside you, shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I'll ever need
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me
You've got something so real
You touched me so deep
See material things don't matter to me
So come as you are, you've got nothing to prove
You won me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you
You don't know
How you touched my life
Oh in so many ways I just can't describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
It's all the little things that make you beautiful to me"
I love you...
Kisses
Debbie

Dear Bone Daddy~
I just want to say I have been beside you since 1995. I love your music as Johnny No Name and The Bone Daddy as a BSB member. I was on the computer late at night and I always go to The Offical BSB Website atleat once a week and July 8 or some where around there I forget the exact date but I was confused about it. My role model, AJ, in rehab... I finally read it when I woke up because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I was thinking atleast he could admit it and I was soo proud of him for that and he is actaully doing something about it! Also he didn't try to hide it from us (the fans) he told us he needed a break and I think everyone should understand that because I know I do and always will! I know how you feel with a lost of a loved one. I lost my grandpa a year or so ago it still never really got better I still think of things I did wrong and said something wrong to him and I feel bad. I will be here no matter what because I know what you are going through and I wish I just could meet ya and tell you every little thing I want to say! I have loved you since I first heard and saw you! I feel in love with ur looks, voice, crazziness, personality and more! I couldn't explain how I feel when I see you on tv or hear your voice! I just wish once I could meet you or touch your hand! No matter what you have to go through I will be here for you! My friends say I'm obessed but I don't mind! They nicknamed me BSBPrincess of AJ and AJsPrincess. My nickname from everyone is Princess and since I love AJ sooo much everyone started calling me AJsPrincess. I take as a complement and say thanks and I really do wish I was The Bone Daddy's Princess! I wish you could read the fan's letters! I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT ALEXANDER JAMES!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the BSB power that is within everyone including the fans!
Love ya always and forever
hugs, kisses & cookies(Howie says that)
Peace out(AJ says that),

AJ:
Okay first of all I would just like to say that it takes a big person to actually admit that they have a problem and that is the biggest step.....You have all ready done that and I am proud!!!!!! I know that coming from someone that you don't know it probably doesn't mean a whole lot but I KNOW you and that is the one thing that makes me believe that you will pull through this and continue to have your beautiful voice heard all over the world!!!!!! You have a million and one people pulling for you and the most important being your family.....Nick, Brian, Kevin, and Howie I know all have faith and you and so do all your friends and fans........Well That is all I wanted to say!!!! I can't help but add that you are an amazing person, very strong willed and very handsome!!!!!!! I know in my heart that this is just another bump in the road (a serious and big bump but a bump none the less) and you will get through it I have faith and so does the rest of the world!!!!!!Love you always and forever:

Hey I hope you are doing much better. I have to give you props for actually stepping up and admiting you have a problem. That's a very BIG step. I know a lot of people,especially in my family, that don't think they have a problem and go on drinking. And you have a great heart for not lying to us (your fans) and saying you got hurt, instead you told us you were going through things and you needed time off. I'm very sorry that your grandma past away. I know how it feels to lose a grandma or grandpa that is close. I only have a grandma left and she's been really sick. Well I hope you are better and by the time you come to CHICAGO,IL that you are 110%+ better. Much love and much support coming from your CHICAGO fans.

Dear AJ,
Hi! My name is Heather. I know you probably get lots of things saying "I am your biggest fan". I am not going to say that, I'm just going to say that I know you will get better and I pray for you all the time. I look up to you with the deepest respect. Your my idol. I will always be a fan of you and the rest of the guys until the ocean no longer touches the sand.
Love always,
Heather Bailey

Dear AJ,
I am proud that you sought the help that you needed to make it through this rough time. I keep you in my prayers, and hope you will find your way back. I am sure you will be well, but I understand the time it takes seems to last forever.
I can empatize with your loss. I have lost love ones many times and each time it rocks my entire world.
I hope you are surrounded by friends, family, loved ones, and of corse the Lord.
Just be comforted in knowing you ARE a wonderful role model for kids and elders alike. You admitted you you had a problem, took responasablity for it, and sought help. Too many people will not admit their problem and it ends up killing them. You will always be held in high regard in my heart for that. Sending love, best wishs a prayer and a smile.

~ North Carolina ~
A.J,
hi, this is Melissa from Paris. You probably don't remember me but we've already met in Tacoma last February and I gave you my diary. I went to the fan conference and then you came 15 min. Backstage with me...
The most beautiful day of my life....
If i wrote you today, it's because i've heard on the radio that you were at the hospital and so I wanna show you i'm here for you. I hope you're doing better but i know you're strong and you'll get over it.
You give me the strengh to go on everyday, you make me feel so good and I wish I could do the same for you. I really can't be happy when you're not, you know I'd sacrified my life, my dreams and hopes just for you cuz there is no me without you Alex. It's killing me right now cuz you won't read this letter and that's so important to me to make you know how much i care. I think about you constainly and I cry because I can't be by your side in this hard time of your life.
No matter what the people can say about your mistakes cuz we learn from them and they make us stronger. Anyway I will always love you, care for you and support you in every decisions you'll make. You can't desappoint me , don't worry i love you too much for that. I adore you, i can't breathe so please AJ get well soon!
I've never felt this way before, I'd die for you cuz I don't wanna live without you if you're not happy, you might think that I'm crazy to say that but I'm so in love and yes, you're right, I'm crazy for you and crazy I drive myself cuz I wanna be with you so bad!
~TAKE CARE THAT'S ALL I WANT~
anywhere,
anytime,
always here for you,
no matter what!
