Use old gmail

I have used an email address in the past for my apple id, but is not currently using it. Now, when I have a new iphone I want to use the same email, but it is not possible as the email address is occupied by me. How can I use MY own gmail??

iPhone 4

You use the Apple ID you already created using that email address. An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID. Since you already used it to create an Apple ID, you have to use that Apple ID.
