Why did Nietzsche live a life opposite of what he preached?

From what I gather, Nietzsche philosophy is all about life\-affirmation, and, generally speaking, he seems pretty opposed to Plato and successors  with their ideas on conventional morality, emphasis on some other ideal world instead of our imperfect material world, emphasis on the rational faculties and suppression of the carnal, the idea of nobility in asceticism; condemning these concepts to be life\-denying.

However, he seemed to live a rather ascetic and quiet, and dare I say it, textbook Apollonian life himself. Why is that, why didn't Nietzsche live a Dionysian life, or at least a good mix of Apollonian and Dionysian? Did he not believe in what he preached? Are there more obscure and wild aspects of Nietzsche's life that don't get touched in most summarized biographies, perhaps?

Life affirmation to Nietzsche doesn’t mean going out there and living life through all sorts of wild experiences. It means saying yes to life in its entirety. Even if it’s filled with pain and suffering. And Nietzsche lived this. He suffered a lot: he went through intense and debilitating pain and headaches. His health was so crap he had to retire young. He failed to woo the woman he loved. But he found it in himself to be joyful, and to say yes to life. 

Nietzsche is the chap who took the concept of eternal recurrence from the stoics and turned it into a test: if you were told you had to relive every moment of your life, in its entirety, over and over into eternity, would you feel yourself to be blessed or damned by it? Despite all his suffering, he wanted to be a “yes-sayer”. To say yes to life, even if it was utter shit. And he lived up to what he preached.
