Abstemious individual (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascetic

(Other definitions for ascetic that I've seen before include "One practises self-denial as a spiritual discipline" , "Self-denying, often for religious reasons" , "Person who leads a severely simple life" , "Self-disciplined person" , "reclusive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
