The simplest way to achieve that is to add the 'n' flag to
'formatoptions', e.g.,
:set fo+=n
See
:help fo-n
For what it's worth, I also have this in my vimrc:
" Require the first character following the number to not be a
" space to avoid the improper indentation of lines following a
" line that happens to begin with a number.
set formatlistpat=^\\s*\\d\\+[\\]:.)}][\\t\ ]\\s*
