First of all I think you are over reacting. It would be nice if you can elaborate what exactly concerns you so much that suddenly you want to stop using all of their services. I am just curious to know and it would help everyone to answer your question in a more useful manner.
As alternative services, you will sooner or later be in a situation that you need to use some of their services again or you will miss something you want to have access to. In addition sooner or later you will end up using alternative services who will collect and analyse your data (i.e. Twitter) and share this data with other 3rd parties (maybe even Google)...
At the end why stop just with Google?! Why not Apple (iPhone and MACs), Amazon (buying anything), Microsoft (using Windows, Skype, LinkedIn, GitHub) ?!?
Alternative services to save your privacy are the best if you self host and maintain those (which can be huge overhead and time consumer). Still for Calendar, Photos, Notes, Mail and Drive I can recommend you using NAS which support all of these functions via add-ons. There are few popular NAS brands and I am currently using one of Synology models for functions listed above.
Mobile alternative ⇢ use dummy phone: you will reduce your online presence, mindless surfing and you will reduce phone usage for 99% (the rest will be occasional SMS or urgent calls)
This is the best you can do today and future will not bring anything better. I wonder how many people are ready to really make these steps. Let us know what you think about it 👍
