In my opinion it IS canon, it's just canon that was implied rather than shown... like the extent of John's drinking.
Sam never really explained his reasoning for quitting, beyond "you were gone" - but who would want to explain bone-crushing grief and being completely lost and alone?
But, I know what you mean, and I too wish we had seen it, so that we could more easily understand Sam, and more easily connect to his story in the first half of the season.
