Hey A.J.
I just wanted to say to you and the other guys that I really admire you all for telling all of your fans the truth about what was going on. It takes alot of courage to admit that there is something amiss in your life and I really look up to you for facing the problem before something bad happened. I hope and pray that you get well and find what is missing in your life so that you can be truely happy. I can't wait to see the show in Denver whenever it takes place wether it be on the orginal date or on a postponed date. Your guys's music has been a blessing in my life and I wouldn't have gotten through some tough times without it. Thank you for that!! Best wishes to you and the guys!! Peace and Love Missy

Hey A.J.!!
I'm Tamara from Germany. My English is not very good, but I hope you can understand me. How are you? I hope fine. Believe me, you're strong enough to succeed in doing this withdrawal (I hope you know what I mean). You only have to believe in you. And the other guys help you. And, of course, the fans help you, too. You're not alone. 15 years ago my mother was an alcoholic, too. And now she's clean. You see nothing is impossible. I hope this example helps you a little bit.
Well, I hope you understood what I wrote. That's it. Maybe you can write back. Best wishes to you and the other guys.BYE TAMARA

To Alexander James McLean:Words can't express what you and your bandmates mean to me. I thank all of you everyday because I've been listening to your music for almost 5 years now and the lyrics and songs will be a part of my life forever.
Thank you for giving this 20-something fan something to believe in. I believe that you can get better and you can learn from your mistakes. I'm proud that you didn't wait until it was too late to solve all of your problems.
Take all of the time you need to heal yourself in both mind and spirit and remember that there are people out here who honestly don't care if you're a Backstreet Boy or not. Even if all of your problems don't get solved by the time you get out going to the bottle is not the way to solve problems.
NOW: GO AJ, GO AJ, GO. GO AJ, GO AJ, GO. GO AJ, GO AJ, GO. GO, GO, GO.
Always know that the fans are behind you 100% and don't give up when the stakes are down.
Peace, Love and Applesauce

Dear Bone,
I'm very proud of your attitude! You were very intelligent when you asked help :) I know you are strong enough to overcome all this. I'll always be there for you, supporting and loving you.There's a Brazilian song that says something like this: "The rain is needful to flowers can open..." I hope you understand what I mean...
"We're standing stronger cuz what you've done. AJ, this one goes out to you"

AJ, We all wish you the best of luck and I am so glad that you are getting help early on. My dad was an alcoholic for 15 years and it took my mom leaving him to sober up. He's been sober for 10 years now and he's the most wonderful father in the world. All I can say is that it was very man of you to realize you were sick and I, along with all your other fans are very proud of you. Our prayers and best wishes go out to you, your family, friends, and the rest of of the guys in BSB. I can't wait to see you on the road again AJ, and just remember you've got millions and millions of people of all age,race, and gender pulling for you! Good luck!

When i first heard that you were having problems i felt so bad for you. I wish i could say "I know how feel" but in all truth i never had the chance to meet my grandfathers. My Granfather from my mother's side died at my birth. I herd (from my mom) that he would have spoiled my rotten! If only he had lived a little longer. My other Grandpa left my Grandma with two children and an infant whe she was only 16. BUt i hope you pull through this alright. Eres siempre en mi corazon y pienco de ti cada dia.All my love, Nellie

First I'd like to say I know some of what your going threw. I was real real close to my older brother who was 5 years older than me. We had a real strong realationship. He saved my life twice. once when I was four and again when I was seven. He died when I was 10. He was 15. I fell into deep depression. I hie it from everyone. I would drink to feel better. Then 5 years later I finally got better. I stopped drinking and well got over m depression by doing things my brother Jeremy did. Play sports, tell jokes, play nintendo, among other things. Even though he's gone i feel close to him still. Thats why I look up to you AJ. You remind me of my brother. He had a love for Micky Dee's food. Like you do. Your alot like him. Although he was very very popular in high school. Everyone loved him. I guess you always lose someoe your close to. I often wonder if I could have saved my brother from dying in that car accident 7 years ago. If I ony talked a minute longer to him on the phone. He'd probably still be here. But ya never know how god works.Try what I did and take up something your grandma once did. And you'll feel closer thats what I did with Jeremy. Anyways I wish you the best of luck AJ and I hope you get well soon. As My big Bro use to say.........Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease

Hows everything going? Hopefully getting alot better. When i first heard about you i was at my firneds house and really couldn't hear what had happened all i saw was nick, Kevin, Brian, and howie and i thought the worst, but when i got home my mom ( someone who never pays any attention to you guys) told me what had happened, and to be honest with you i almost turned on the group but got to thinking, I am a true bsb fan and you need your fans right now and me turning on the group would be wrong.I guess what i really wanted to say is that i really respect you decesion, see my dad was an alcholic and droped me off at my moms house and left for a year, so he can go out and party some more, and it really hurt. He didn't realize he had a problem until my mother died and realized he had to take me and my brother in. So in away you are my hero, because you realized you had a problem before anyone reallu got hurt. I love you guys and your music touches me!
