In the Phaedo, Socrates' reason why one should not commit suicide is:

    { 1 } - The gods' possessions have no right to kill themselves.
    { 2 } - Suicide is a pain rather than a pleasure.
    { 3 } - The next life is worse than this one.
    { 4 } - By suicide one abandons one's friends and family.
    { 5 } - Suicide is against the law.

The text does not say this. Rather see 63b where Socrates says: "I should be wrong not to resent dying if I did not believe that I should go first to other wise and good gods, and then to men who have died and are better than men are here." and 63c: "I have good hope that some future awaits men after death, as we have been told for years, a much better future for the good than for the wicked."
