“I went form the highest point of my life to the lowest point of my life overnight and made a career-changing decision that no one should ever make,” he wrote. “There’s no excuse and no one to blame other than myself.”
“I have spent this time taking a hard look at myself and owning up to the pain that I have caused my family, my friends, my sponsors and my fans,” he wrote. “I am deeply sorry for having hurt every one of you.”
“I have a long road ahead of me in my recovery journey (Hacker said in the post that he is “71 days sober.”), and part of that is putting in the effort to mend relationships and earn back your trust,” he wrote. “I promise to continue working on myself to be the best version of Chris Hacker I can be. See ya’ll in Martinsville!”
