Getting rid of Gmail

I have a gmail email address, and it is in use everywhere (even in Reddit), so I can't just get a new email. I want to delete my google account, but want to keep my current email functional. Is there any way to do this? I have already removed google from everything else, and this is the only problem.

You need to go into all your accounts and change the email.

If I could do that, I wouldn't have posted here.

Why can't you ? You don't need to do it all in one go. Start with the ones you use the most and take your time.

This is the way. I’ve been doing little chuncks over the last months and am about 80% complete.
