A Murmur of Fire in the Vein, ch 8
It is hard to not define others by the roles and relationships we know them from. It's often times hard not to define OURSELVES by our roles and relationships. I think that Jasper and Bella have developed a new definition outside of the Cullens. No doubt the past has hindered the progression of this relationship. I have no doubt that Jasper's drug use has been fueled by the doubt, fear, desire, and overall anxiety of wanting to pursue Bella as more than a friend.
I would be lying if I said the re-emergence of Jasper's drug use didn't scare the shit out of me. He's already admitted that it has affected their relationship. He has alreay blown off Bella three times in order to do drugs. Bella is being an enabler at the moment. She remembered that Jasper used sex as a substitute for a high, and allowed him to do so with her. She also is trying to save him, but only he can save himself from this addiction. He has to do it for himself.
