Did Dave Krusen quit or get fired?

I am listening to DITP right now, and I was wondering why Dave K didn't come back to the band after Dave A got fired. I checked wikipedia (yes, I know, gimme a break!), and there's a quote in there from Dave K himself saying this:
After the recording sessions for Ten were completed, Krusen left Pearl Jam in May 1991 and checked himself into rehabilitation.[4] According to Krusen, he was suffering from personal problems at the time.[4] Krusen said, "It was a great experience. I felt from the beginning of that band that it was something special," and added, "They had to let me go. I couldn't stop drinking, and it was causing problems. They gave me many chances, but I couldn't get it together."
Does that mean:
-'they had to let me leave'?
or
-'they had to fire me'?
I was always under the impression he quit.

They gave him chances, so I'd believe they were all on good terms.

Sammi: Wanna just break up?
he's a good guy, he was at one of the MSG shows this year, and I met up with him afterwards downtown...he's still clean and sober and a very nice and friendly guy.
very cool and good to see him clean and sober

It also seemed like he relapsed around the time Dave A got the can - so that might be why he didn't come back. That and it seems like they REALLY wanted Irons in the band.

It was definitely Krusen and not Dave A.
Correct. Hence, I still have much respect for Dave A.

Yes he did. He plays on their "Happy Pills" album (this album had some awesome songs).
He also did a few tracks on the latest "Into the sun" but Scott Mercado (original drummer played on some and did the tour). I was really hoping Krusen was drumming on the tour. It would have been awesome to meet him.
their original drummer Scott, is cool too though and is an awesome drummer as well.
"Into the sun" is pretty good, but Happy Pills and candlebox albums are by far Candlebox's best.
