If you know you have a problem, it would be a good idea to help yourself as well, you can do it together.

I think it's best you do talk about it with her, and if you want to truly stop too, then all the better.

Do you want to continue drinking?

Whatever the case, bring it up , cuz hiding it isn't gonna help in any way.

There are people in my recovery program whose goals are only to cut down. Ultimately, the best thing you can do for yourself/yourselves, is to (eventually) quit.

You asked for advice, and I enthusiastically recommend bringing the topic up with her. It doesn't matter if you drink less or more, it's not a competition, you're a team.
