"Forbear" is almost archaic. It is used in very formal documents, such as legal documents. We don't really use this word in everyday speaking and writing.

Nobody uses this past participle anymore, and it was probably never used as a predicate adjective.

1.If you want to abstain from bad habits, you should ask *** for help.
2. I have abstained from alcohol since last year OR I have eschewed alcohol since last year .
