Abstinence means not having any form of sex.Roman Catholic Answer: Abstinence means giving something up. Usually this is used in the sense of Abstinence from meat. All Fridays are Days of Abstinence, and Good Friday and Ash Wednesday are days of Abstinence and Fasting. In the United States, to abstain from meat has been reduced to obligatory in Lent and optional on other Fridays. In other words, you can give something else up instead of meat. It would still be abstaining.
If you are Catholic, you are bound by Catholic discipline. Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence and we cannot eat meat, this has not changed.

i think so... its only red meat that you cant eat.. you can also eat fish :) Wrong. Chicken is meat in terms of Friday abstinence. Fish and other seafood is not forbidden. chicken is fine, it only states that you can't or are not meant to eat RED meat on no meat Friday there is nothing written anywhere that says you can't eat chicken especially since the flesh of a chicken is white not red.
Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting (only one full meal) and abstinence from meat, which includes poultry as well as red meat and pork. Fish and seafood are fine.
