After writing you earlier I relized that I have been illiterate
to the fact of what yall have to deal with on a day to day bases.
It took this incedent for me to relize that yall are not as lucky
as I thought yall were. It also took almost 4 years to relize that yall
deal with so much stuff that it would drive a sane man crazy.
That is not saying that you are crazy, it is saying that we as fans
amirier you and that 4 guys for keeping your saniaty. But back
to the real reason I am writng this letter.
I want you to know that as a BSB fans I wish you the best
and I also want you to know that I am VERY proud
for making that frist step and asking for the help you need.
Despite all the killer dance moves and the heavenly vocals
you still have a soft side, and for that reason it is ok to cry
and be emotional at times and it is best to be.
What I am trying to say is that I want you to know you did
the right thing and that nothing you could have done would have
been better then the action you made and asked for help.
You prove that you are a real man and I for one want
to thank you for that alone. AJ I want you to know that you
are my hero. I understand from a news report that some fans image has been
changed by this incedent and I want to tell them fans this
(If you are a BSB fans you would stand beside AJ and take
his hands and tried to comfort him to the best of your ability.
If your image has been chagned by this incedent : NEWSFLASH!!!
You Are Not A BSB Fans. You have the put AJ's
Shoe on and walk a mile before you can judge him. I also want you
to know that you are no BSB Fans if you can not
stand storng for AJ and the guys as they work this problem out.
You also have to relize that AJ is only human and he
makes mistake, and you would not not want your best
friends to turn on you for something you did, so you have to go
with the golden rule on this one. {Treat others as you want to treated}
I don't think that is to much to ask.)
AJ I also want you to know that you are the strongest person I know.
I also want you to know you are in my prayer along with Brian, Howie, Kevin,
and Nick, that Jesus will touch the 5 of you and make everything better for you!
I also want to put in a special prayer for for Nick's hand.
I Love And Care Alot About You And The For Guys
And I Don't Care What People Say About Yall. You Will Always
Have A Special Place In My Heart, And In A Prayers. I Want
To Wish You All The Joy, Happiness, Peace, And Love
In the Future!
Luv You Fan;
Angel Ski Millwood
PS: This is to the Backstreet Boys, Yall are what make me whole. About 6 weeks ago
I had to deal with the passing of my grandmother. All I can remember was crying. I would
be comforted by my family and BSB Music. It was the hardest thing I had to deal with.
I remember thinking that it was a terrible dream, and thinking that I would stap out of it.
It just kept getting realer and realer. It was hard but yall and family member helped me
get passed it. It still hurts but I can't change that fact that she is gone. I can only remember
the few good times we had due to the distance. She Lived in Gheer, South Carolina, I live in
Tallassee, Alabama. It is a 6 hours drive. I hardy got to see her but despite the distance i still
loved her. I just have to think that I am proud for her she is with the good lord
and there is no better place to be. I don't want to keep boring you with my sarrow
but I just wanted to think you for your help getting pass the problem. Yall Are Honestly The BEST!!:):)

Dear A.J
Congratulations for having the courage to recognize that you have a problem and for doing something about it. Unfortunately not all people who have problems reach that point until it's too late. My prayers and thoughts are with you as I am confidant that you will get better as you have already overcome the hardest obstacle by admitting you have a problem. Remember that all your fans are here for you and will always be. We look forward to your return, but be sure to return when you're ready and not just for the sake of making it short to get back to the tour. Your life is way more important, everything else after that will fall into place.
God Bless
Teresa

Dear A.J. I've looked at your face and the faces of Nick, Brian, Kevin and Howie for the last five years as they've been plastered all over my daughter's room. We've watched so many things with you guys on it, read everything, discuss and talk about you guys constantly, finally getting to see you in concert this year, that you guys feel like a part of our family, heck - your initials have even hung on our refrigerator for the last two years along with family photos. As a mom, esp. one who watched her 4-year-old daughter fall head-over-heels "for an older man," that I was saddened and emotionally overcome about your plight. Alex is 8 now and I've explained to her about your situation, knowing how sad she'll become, but also knowing that she'll pray with all her heart for you. Children are the greatest gift we'll ever receive, and Alex will be my only one. Children like her don't fall for images or get caught up in media hype - they just love from their hearts and she loves you with all her glorious child's heart, unconditionally and completely - so you must be very worthy (don't forget that). I feel for you and the rest of the guys, and esp. your mom, because we would do anything to protect our children, no matter how old they are. Your courage to come forth is commendable and I'm proud of you. Alcohol abuse has touched our lives too, some have seeked help and lead fulfilling lives, others haven't, but I can only pray they become as brave as you and do so, so they can become the person they need and want to be. You are in our hearts and in our prays. Take care of yourself and God speed. Love, Liz and Alex Litowkin

To the one and only A.J.,
I don't know how it happened, but it did. Some of us never saw it coming. Some of us never knew you were sad. Because you kept a positive and wonderful attitude towards your fans.
Well, now it's time for us to be positive for you. You have my 100% support! Despite the fact that I don't know you, I know you're a good person inside and your music has always helped me through the hard times. I've had a friend who had to go in for depression, but she came out with a better outlook at life and a positive attitude. I know rehab will help you achieve that too. Cause you sure deserve it! All the luck in the world can't help you, but our support and your strength will! I know you can do it!
Luv,

AJ,I love you and the rest of the Backsreet Boys but if that is what is caused many of your troubles and you feel like you wanna quit, thats ok by me. It may make me mad or sad but I don't want you to continue on being unhappy. Your happiness and well-being is all that matters to me!

AJ,
I just wana say that I Know what you are going thought , I know what it feels like to lose a loved one. My grand father died 2weeks ago, he was like a dad to me even if I didn't get to see him as much as I would have like to see him. You see, he lived in Mexico and live in the U.S. I only got to see on my summer vacations , but I practicly live with him and my grandma for those 3 mounths. Any ways, all I wanted to say is that you need to stay storng to get though these hard raod thats gotten in your path. YOU have to be storng to get though this so you can come back and do the things you love to do. Keep your head up , be strong don't give up now. I know that you just wana give up on the world because you don't see the meaning for caring but you can't give up becuase you too many people that care for you and that want you to get better. You have your family and friends and FANS that want you to get better. YOU need to be strong for them as well as for your self.I know this because I'm living it right now I 'm stragualing like you are, but I'm giving all I'v got to stay strong and not go into a depression becuase that would just make my family suffer more. Just be STRONG and get though this. :O)
Withlove and care,
Daniela :O)
p.s. Keep your head up and don't give up you are a graet person. :O)

When I first heard the news, I was shocked. But I am very thankful the Backstreet Boys did not lie to the fans and the public. What A.J. is going thriugh is very difficult and all his fans are hopeful he gets better. I'm just glad he was able to admit he needs help. I hope and pray every night that he gets back to normal and we can all see the happy A.J. we're used to seeing!
