a Christian nazir (monk): have a hairdo (shaves the crown of his head), can drink wine, no women.

Oh, perhaps simple fasting is more appropriate.

Yes I think the practice of being a Jewish nazirite generally stopped being practiced long ago. It was usually not encouraged anyway because it is very stringent and we don't want people to deny themselves so much, as a general rule. But people who take on additional piety today usually do so through fasting or other measures in their personal life without a vow which is very serious transgression if one fails to live up to a vow.

Yes, I think this is the right way. A broken vow will be very wearing to your conscious. In addition to that I am shure God will be angry towards you.
