Hey AJ....
Ok, well I have no clue what the hell I should say cuz I feel like a psycho fan. But, I really wanted to write you. I have friends that have gone to rehab, and let me tell you that they are so much better for it. It is really amazing that you took this step. I am not going to say that I am proud of you because I do not know you...I just want you to understand the support that you have (spiritually) and keep your strength! My mom and grandmother are both alcoholics and they are doing amazingly...both are in AA (I have faith in that program). I feel that you should be aware that you are not alone and your fans love ya! Take care of yourself and take all the time you need...we're not going anywhere...Love and prayers, Liz

Dear Sweet AJ,
I heard about your fabulous choice to get help a few days late because I wasn't home for a while, but never the less...my tears and prayers to God go out to you. May He be your source of strength during this time in your life. Remember AJ, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. Isaiah 41:10 says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
~Sending all my Love and Prayers, Stephanie~

Aj,
this is my 2nd one! i luv u guys so much, your music has helped me ALOT! ya'll have the most beautiful voices i've ever heard. your music has inspired me and and my friend to start writing lyrics for songs. i know you have no idea what-so-ever who i am but bsb has made a major impact on my life for like 4 and a half years. i think it is so amazing for 5 guys to touch millions of hearts all over the world. anyway, aj, i know u can make it through this. it's just another one of life's obstacles that you'll get through. i've lived for 15 years and life has already given me many, many obstacles that have made me go through depression. i haven't completely gotten over it, it's been about 4 years now. depression just really sux. i can't say i know what u are going through cause i don't, but i just want you to take as long as it takes you to get over this. u need to stay healthy. especially for the rest of bsb, especially for nick(j/k) well, hope all goes well for u!

Hi A.J., I know that you probably not gonna read this or if you do i want you to know, or probably get fans that are really crazy(but we are crazy everyway). Well I would like to say I hope you get better and you have done the right thing. I know how you feel. I have lost all my grandparents in a year. It was hard, and just remember this that the love ones that have past aways will always be there to listen, and waiting for your time to go to be with them. Well I will let you know, you are such a sweet man and know that you will be better than ever. And remember that you have too many people that loves you!!! Much Love.....
