Definitely install some kind of filter. I use K9, and there are a lot of other very good suggestions here as to what works for others. You're right--you can break through them if you really want to, but they provide a much needed obstacle. You have to understand that addictive behavior is caused largely by ingrained habits. If those habits are interrupted by something, you have a much better chance at altering your behavior. An internet filter does just that. It stops you for a moment so that you have a chance to think about what you're doing.
By the way, I want to welcome you to the site and say congratulations on your desire to break this addiction. It's very difficult, but worth every shred of effort, as anyone here would readily agree, I'm quite sure.
Good luck.
