AJ Loses Sobriety Battle -- Again

61. How could you publish this? It has really helped you in your pathetic "journalist" career? TMZ how easy is for you to have an story to fill your yellow press section. How easy is for you to talk about someone else's weakness and mistakes. I wonder if it is that easy for you to sleep with your conscience at night. I'm pretty sure that is not... or it wont be in the future.
TMZ you make me sick. Why can't you just let the people make mistakes without you pointing at them with your damn camera? Get a Life... preferably your own.


PS: NOW YOU'RE ERASING MY COMMENTS??? THAT'S CENSORSHIP!!!!!!

63. Hang in there AJ! Just get some new friend's.... esp ones that don't care about flaunting their crap on TV ;)

I'm not sure what exactly happened but I'm just hoping AJ is alright. *sighs*

64. to number 33 BW - have you been to an alanon meeting today? or lately?

try to think of something that you really like, and go without it for a month. now imagine if you had cravings for it. so are cigarette smokers selfish? are people that drink caffeine everyday selfish? i know plenty of people that cannot go through a day without either.

my mom went through years of treatment for lymphoma. it will never truly be gone. she understands and accepts my alcoholism.

open your eyes and your mind. it will make your journey through life a lot more fulfilling.

65. this is unbelievably sad. i remember when the backstreet boys were on trl when they had to postpone their tour because of aj's problem. i hope it doesn't get to that again. he was out for nick's birthday, and instead he gave his friend the worst present ever...falling off the wagon. i really hope he gets his life back in order or he's gonna spiral down that same dangerous path he went in 2001.

66. I love AJ and think it's ok for an adult to drink when they go out. We're not following him day/night to know if he drinks all day or all the time, which I highly doubt. What if this was the first time in a long time, at his friend's celebration? I think it's unfairly blown out of proportion. I was more annoyed at 1. TMZ for airing this out of context and 2. the girls he was with, than at anything else. I didn't know he has a gf so that really breaks my heart. He is very talented with the sexiest voice and I wish him all the best. xoxoxoxoxo M.

69. Oh Alex... He'd worked so hard for 6 years sober. My heart goes out to him and I'm supporting him 150% to get back on track! Don't surround yourself with the negative people... My question is, Nick and Howie were there.. why didn't they do something to help?

70. so..it's sad to watch this but it's reallity.
as i said in another video, i'm your fan since i was 8 years old, you're my everything in this life.. and i had, a few years ago, this kind of problem, and you really helped me, you showed me that this is not the best way to live our lives. and as you know, everybody makes mistakes..so, it's ok. people who love you will support you..i support you. we both know you're a very strong, amazing and intelligent man.. you can handle it.
this is a bad step, just that.

I LOVEE YOUUUUUUU ALEX!!!

i'm waiting for you and the bsb here in Argentina :)

71. I feel for him. I know several people fighting in the AA program. Personally I am fighting with a food-adiction problem. So I know a lot about this.
He needs, as some of you mention, to get away from the fake people and surrounds himself with. And he need to be with someone he can trust and who cares for him nomatter who he is. Even if he is Aj Mclean or som John Doe from God knows where.
But the problem with abusers, and I am talking about myself too, as food is/can be an adiction too, is that you can´t really help before they are ready for it themselfes.

72. omg. not again. god not again. i cant believe this. not again. i have been a loyal dedicated backstreet boys fan since 1997. the first time that i heard about this back in 2001 i just couldnt believe it and i just prayed for him. kinda weird how in the past month all i have been listening to was backstreet boys music. i think that it was a way to prepare me to hear this in a way like with the first time i had a dream that he went into rehab a year before he did but still i cant believe it and last night i stayed up till 4:30 am for no particarly reason which is also kinda weird cause i go to bed about 2am. but still i cant believe that alex is in trouble like this again. maybe he needs to hang out with me so i can straighten him up. i still cant believe it. alex really needs to find god and let god guide him to the right people that will help him through this and not let some bimbos and crazy people who want to see him go towards the bottle and drugs again.

73. AJ's real girlfriend is trying to turn him around. Hopefully all this publicity will and hopefully he reads all this.

74. C'mon Aj! You worked so hard.. Those ppl you call friends aren't so cakled friends ditch them and get back to your ways when you were sober. Wish I could help you!!

75. Well whatever is going down, it isn't good. My suggestion? Get outta LA, AND AWAY from those S-K-A-N-K-S (the latest screwing partner included) and stay with the people who know you the longest.....like your bandmates!
I think he's getting worse instead of better. I'm worried that he won't live to see 40 at the rate he's going now. I'm serious...
