The gerund should be used:
1. After prepositions: He worked without STOPPING. She played instead of WORKING.
2. After words which regularly take a preposition such as: fond of, insist on, tired of, succeed in:
I am tired of DOING the work. He succeeded in KILLING the tiger.
3. After certain verbs such as avoid, enjoy, finish, stop, risk, excuse: Boys enjoy PLAYING football. The wind has stopped BLOWING.
